Moungi G. Bawendi (MIT): 2023 Nobel Prize lecture in chemistry



Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Aleksey Yekimov are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 "for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots". The Noble Prize lectures will take place on december 8, 11:20 - 13:10 h.

In our group, we have benefited greatly from their fundamental research in a number of our projects, and we take this opportunity to congratulate them warmly!

Here comes a list of publications that would not have been possible without the groundbreaking work on nano-particles of the laureates:
