Louis E. Brus was an American physical chemist who was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering and producing quantum dots, which are very small particles whose unusual quantum properties depend on their size. Quantum dots are used in many applications, including in QLED (quantum-dot light-emitting diode) screens, in solar cells, and as markers in biomedical imaging. Brus shared the Nobel Prize with Russian-born American physicist Alexei Ekimov and French-born American chemist Moungi Bawendi.
