Trio wins Nobel Prize in chemistry for work on quantum dots, used in electronics and medical imaging

in chemistry Wednesday for their work on quantum dots — particles just a few atoms in diameter that can release very bright colored light and whose applications in everyday life include electronics and medical imaging.

The dots are nanoparticles that glow blue, red, or green when illuminated or exposed to light. The color they emit depends on the size of the particles. Larger dots shine red, and smaller dots shine blue. The color change is due to how electrons act in more or less confined spaces. Judy Giordan, president of the American Chemical Society, said she was thrilled at the selection of the winners.

“There was a press release sent out for still unknown reasons. We have been very active this morning to find out exactly what happened,” , said during the news conference where the award was announced. “This is very unfortunate and we deeply regret what happened.” He said he was not thinking about the possible applications of his work when he started researching quantum dots.
