The winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry were American Mungi Bavendi of French-Tunisian origin, American Louis Bruce and Russian Alexey Ekimov for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. All of the scientists work in the USA. In this respect
Nobel Committee representatives announced At a ceremony in Stockholm.
The properties of an element are determined by the number of electrons it has. However, when matter is compressed into nanoscale dimensions, quantum phenomena occur and their properties are determined by the size of the matter. The 2023 Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry have managed to create particles so small that their properties are determined by quantum phenomena.
In the future, researchers believe quantum dots could contribute to flexible electronics, tiny sensors, thinner solar cells, and encrypted quantum communications.
