OREANDA-NEWS The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2023 was shared by scientists Mungi Bavendi, Louis Bruce and Alexey Ekimov for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. All three work in the USA.
Ekimov graduated from Leningrad State University in 1967, defended his dissertation in 1989 and received the degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Since 1999, he has been working in the USA at Nanocrystals Technology.
Before Ekimov, the only scientist from the USSR or Russia who received the Nobel Prize in chemistry was Nikolai Semenov, who was awarded in 1956 "for research in the field of the mechanism of chemical reactions."
Ekimov proved in the 1980s that the size of copper chloride nanoparticles affects their color. Louis Bruce also studied them, and Mungi Bavendi "revolutionized the production of quantum dots." "N+1" writes that Ekimov was the first to synthesize these points, Bruce received the first solution with them, and Bavendi developed a convenient way to synthesize a solution of these points.
The names of the winners of the 2023 prize leaked to the press shortly before the official announcement. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences mistakenly sent out a letter about scientists in the morning, SVT reported.
The day before, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded. It was awarded to scientists Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krause and Anne L'Huillier for "experimental methods of generating attosecond pulses of light to study the dynamics of electrons in matter."
