Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to pioneers of quantum dot discovery

Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus, and Alexei I. Ekimov received this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. We are excited to celebrate this remarkable accomplishment and express our heartfelt congratulations to the laureates.

We also take pride in our contribution to their research journey. Our cutting-edge time-resolved luminescence spectrometers and microscopes enable scientists worldwide to investigate the photophysical characteristics of quantum dots and their unusual properties determined by quantum phenomena.
