Discovery of Quantum Dots in Stained Glass Window Making
The 2023 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded for the discovery of quantum dots, which have been used in stained glass window making for over a thousand years. These tiny particles emit light of different colors when light is fired into them, depending on their size. Scientists found similar properties in ancient glass from the 10th century, containing tiny bits of gold and silver that enhance red and yellow light, resembling the behavior of quantum dots.
