The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 was jointly awarded to Moungi G.Bawendi,Louis E.Brus,and Alexei I.Ekimov,for"the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots".Quantum dots exhibit unique properties such as quantum size effect that is absent in conventional molecular and bulk materials,providing a powerful platform for new science and technology.This Nobel Prize is not only an affirmation of the 40 years of efforts of the three scientists,but also an important milestone in the entire development history of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
