Scientists suggest that in the future, quantum dots could help create flexible electronics, miniature sensors, and thinner solar panels.
The Nobel Committee announced the winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on October 4. They are Mungi Bavendi, Louis Bruce and Alexey Ekimov. The scientists are recognized “for the discovery and development of quantum dots.” This was reported by the press service of the Nobel Foundation.
“Nanoparticles and quantum dots are used in LED lamps and television screens. They can also be used in surgeries to remove cancerous tissue,” the report said.
Scientists made the discovery by creating quantum dots, that is, nanoparticles so small that their size determines their properties.
“These particles have unique properties and scatter their light from TV screens and LED lamps. They enable chemical reactions, and their clear light can illuminate tumor tissue for the surgeon,” the press service reports.
We remind you that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny are the favorites among the 351 nominees for the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize.
