Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023
Scientists Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Aleksey Ekimov won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery of tiny clusters of atoms known as quantum dots, widely used today to create colours in flat screens, light emitting diode (LED) lamps.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.”
Everyone who studies chemistry learns that an element’s properties are governed by how many electrons it has. However, when matter shrinks to nano-dimensions quantum phenomena arise; these are governed by the size of the matter.
The 2023 Nobel Prize laureates in chemistry have succeeded in producing particles so small that their properties are determined by quantum phenomena. The particles, which are called quantum dots, are now of great importance in nanotechnology.

The Future of Wearable Electronic Devices in Healthcare System
An article on “Wearable devices for the detection of COVID-19” is published in the January Issue “Digital tech and the pandemic” of Nature Electronics. This is highlighting the latest works reported on wearable electronic devices for the early detection of COVID-19. This article is also explains about the next-generation wearable sensors to monitor physical parameters and biochemical markers, which could play a crucial role in fighting pandemics.
