Alivastos, Bawendi Among Lawrence Award Winners
Abstract:
Alivisatos, a professor of nanotechnology at the University of California, Berkeley, and director of the Materials Sciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Bawendi, a chemistry professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, were awarded jointly in the materials research category (and will share their honorarium), "or chemical synthesis and characterization of functional semiconducting nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots," the DOE said in a press release.
