Nobel Prize in Chemistry Winner Moungi G. Bawendi | Quantum Magic in Nanocrystals

From the Archive - March 26, 2011
Professor Moungi Bawendi from MIT demystifies the "Quantum Magic in Nanocrystals" at NanoDays 2011 celebrated at the Museum of Science Boston on March 26th. He explains what quantum dots are, how they work, and some current and potential future applications for this nanomaterial.
On October 4, 2023, Moungi G. Bawendi from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Louis E. Brus, Columbia University and Alexei I. Ekimov, Nanocrystals Technology Inc.
Discover how these tiny crystals, made of thousands or hundreds of atoms, are reshaping the world of science and technology. At just nanometers in size, quantum dots exhibit unique properties, emitting light as electrons behave like waves. This groundbreaking discovery promises increased efficiency in various applications, particularly in the field of lighting technology.

This only shows that humans can overcome quantum complexity after along time, like thousands of years.

[@omarsatar2003]

He should get the Nobel Prize in physics (not in chemistry). Because the concept behinds quantum dots is really physics rather than chemistry.

[@freddymngadi6135]

Well, NO. To understand chemistry you have to know your physics, Applied Chemistry uses a lot of physics and like most other sciences the physics knowledge stays in the background while we crack on with e.g. metallurgy, biomechanics, astrophysics, biochemistry etc., you get the picture...

[@un_tangle]

I think the prize was given because of synthesis aspect and that is included in chemistry

[@Chad-Giga.]

You would be shocked how much the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics intersect

[@omarsatar2003]

@@Chad-Giga. definitely yes! Applications are everywhere. But the concept of quantum dots that results in quantum confinement is a pure physics.
