The glowing quantum dots can be used in TVs and LED lamps, as well as guiding surgeons removing tumor tissue.

Moungi Bawendi, the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at MIT, has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2023. He will share the prize with Louis Brus of Columbia University and Alexei Ekimov of Nanocrystals Technology.

Quantum dots can be found in modern computers, televisions, LED lights, and more.

The Nobel Prize for chemistry has been awarded to three scientists "for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots", which are nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties.

Nobel Prize: One of the "fascinating and unusual properties" of quantum dots is that they change light colour depending on the particle size, while keeping the atomic structure unchanged, said Johan Aqvist, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.
