Nobel Prize awarded for discovery of quantum dots that changed everything from TV displays to cancer imaging::The 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to a trio of scientists who worked to discover and develop quantum dots, used in LED lights and TV screens, as well as by surgeons when removing cancer tissue.
I love how this reads like someone just said “they’re different because QUANTUM :tm:”
It’s bordering on “Quantum Fruitloopery”, as New Scientist used to call it!
If I have time later, I might dig up some papers and expand the page so it doesn’t read like a new-age wiki.
A Qbit you say? Just a bit but quantum 🤷♂️
