Rice University alumnus Louis Brus was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the “discovery and development of quantum dots,” nanosized particles with unique properties “that now spread their light from television screens and LED lamps,” according to a Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announcement.
– A Rice University alumnus was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for the “discovery and development of quantum dots,” nanosized particles with unique properties “that now spread their light from television screens and LED lamps,” according to a Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
The Swedish Academy highlighted Brus’ role as “the first scientist in the world to prove size-dependent quantum effects in particles floating freely in a fluid.” “Today’s announcement recognizes Louis Brus’s pathbreaking, inspirational scientific career, one that has blended chemistry and physics in ways that have opened up entirely new areas of research and discovery,” Rice President Reginald DesRoches said. “We are proud of and salute our alum Louis and congratulate him and his colleagues for this well-deserved award.”
Brus, who is the Samuel Latham Mitchill Professor Emeritus and Special Research Scientist at Columbia, serves on the university’s Chemistry Department visiting committees.
