3 scientists win Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on tiny quantum dots

Louis E. Brus of Columbia University, poses for a photo with winners of the Nano Science Kavli Prize in Oslo in 2008. The Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to Brus, Moungi Bawendi and Alexei Ekimov for their work on tiny quantum dots.

The three were honored for their work with the tiny particles that are just a few atoms in diameter and allow for very bright colors. They are used in many electronics, like LED displays.
