A look back at the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023
Last year, the distinction was awarded to three nanoparticle experts: Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Alexei Ekimov, for their pioneering research into quantum dots. The committee underlined the importance of their work, highlighting the discovery and development of these tiny particles whose properties depend on their size. The three researchers, of Franco-American, American and Russian nationality, had thus marked the 2023 edition of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The other Nobel Prizes for 2024 already announced

As for the Nobel Prize for Medicine, it was awarded on Monday to American biologists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of an essential mechanism in the regulation of genetic activity.
