The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has announced 3 scientists as winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The winners are: Mundzi G. Bawendi, Louis I. Bruce and Alexei Ekimov.
"The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to the discovery and development of quantum dots, nanoparticles that are so small that their size determines their properties," the academy said.
Nanoparticles and quantum dots are used in LED lights and television screens and can also be used to guide surgeons in removing cancerous tissue, among other things.
Bawendi is a professor at MIT, Bruce is a professor at Columbia University, and Ekimov works for Nanocrystals Technology Inc.
