Size determines their properties. Alexey ekimov, Moungi Bawendi and louis brus discovered and developed this artificially created collection of semiconducting nanoparticles. They are just a few millionths of a Millimetre Wide and glow blue, red or green when exposed to light. Quantum dots already have commercial and scientific uses and, in future, could contribute to flexible electronics, thinner solar cells and encrypted quantum communication. So, Moungi Bawendi, erm, i dont know, viewers may be watching this programme on qled tv one of the things that have arisen from the work that youve done so just tell us about how your work collectively can be used to improve lives. So, qleds is one of the biggest moneymaking applications of quantum dots but the field, in the last few decades, has grown enormously and theres a lot of people working on many other potential applications that have yet to see either commercial success or the applications being proven, and that includes fields going f

of sweden and prince daniel, as well as students from here in sweden. welcome to nobel minds and the second of our two programmes. laureates, this is the first time that some of you have been brought together in discussion on television. congratulations to you all. thank you. applause. first, let s look at the chemistry prize with its scientific breakthroughs that have myriad uses that will benefit humankind. let s have a short video looking at what the prize for chemistry was made for. it s very strange. the nano world is really, really bizarre. when matter is reduced to its smallest dimensions, it s made up of quantum dots nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties. alexey ekimov, moungi bawendi and louis brus discovered and developed this artificially created collection of semiconducting nanoparticles. they are just a few millionths of a millimetre wide and glow blue, red or green when exposed to light. quantum dots already have commercial and scie
