"Nationality does not matter": Swedish Academy of Nobel Prize for Russian

Russian Alexei Ekimov, who has become a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has an American passport and has been working and living in the United States since 1999. The laureate of the Nobel Prize in the field of chemistry was Russian Alexei Ekimov. According to the jury, when choosing a scientist did not take into account citizenship, because it "corresponds to the will of Alfred Nobel. " This was stated during the press conference by Secretary General of the Swedish Academy of Sciences Hans Ellegren.

He said what was guided by the Academy of Sciences when he awarded the Nobel Prize to a Russian scientist, given that the Russian Federation continues its invading war against Ukraine. According to Ellegren when selecting the Nobel Prize winners, the jury "simply adhere to the procedures for determining the most important discoveries. " "After that, we identify the most important participants who contributed to these discoveries," said the Secretary General of the Swedish Academy of Sciences.

In addition, he added that it allegedly corresponded to the testament of Alfred Nobel, who said that the award should receive the most worthy person, regardless of his nationality. It is worth noting that Ekimov has an American passport and has been working and living in the United States since 1999.

Today, October 4, the Nobel Committee announced the Nobel Prize winners in chemistry. One of them was the Russian scientist Alexei Ekimov. The Nobel Prize was presented to him and two more scientists for the discovery and research of semiconductor quantum points - nanoparticles, so tiny that they have unique properties. Quantum points are now illuminated by computer monitors and TV screens based on QLED technology.

In addition, they add the nuances of the light of some LED lamps, and biochemists and doctors can apply them to mapping biological tissues, simply put, their clear light can illuminate the tumor tissue for the surgeon. We will remind, this year the Nobel Committee has already named the laureates in several industries.
