Nobel prizewinners almost never work in isolation. They might be the driving force behind their award-winning discoveries, but a whole host of collaborators, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students helped to realize their vision in the laboratory.
Where do those scientists end up? What is it like for them to be part of a celebrated piece of scientific history? Nature caught up with some of the researchers who contributed to the work recognized by this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry, given to quantum-dot pioneers Moungi Bawendi at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Louis Brus at Columbia University in New York City, and Alexei Ekimov, previously at New York-based company Nanocrystals Technology.
Nanoco Group PLC (LON:NANO) leads the world in the research, development and large-scale manufacture of heavy metal-free nanomaterials for use in displays, lighting, vertical farming, solar energy and bio-imaging.
