Louis E. Brus (born 1943) is the S. L. Mitchell Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University. He is the discoverer of the colloidal semi-conductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots.[1] In 2023, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

In 1973, Brus joined AT&T Bell Laboratories, where he did the work that led to the discovery of quantum dots. In 1996, Brus left Bell Labs and joined the faculty in the Department of Chemistry at Columbia University.

Awards and honors

He was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1998,[2] a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2004,[3] and is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[4]

He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Association of Rice University Alumni in 2010. He was co-recipient of the 2006 R. W. Wood Prize of the Optical Society of America.[5] He also received the inaugural Kavli Prize for nanoscience in 2008.[6] Brus was chosen for the 2010 NAS Award in Chemical Sciences. In 2012 he received the Franklin Institute's Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science,[7] and was elected a Clarivate Citation laureate in Chemistry "for discovery of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots)".[8]

In 2023, Brus was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with Moungi Bawendi and Alexey Ekimov "for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots".[9] Brus, Bawendi and Ekimov were leaked as the recipients of the Nobel Prize shortly before an official announcement was due to be made.[10] The chair of the Swedish Academy's Nobel committee for Chemistry said that it was due to a " ... mistake by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences ... no decision has been made yet. The winners have not been selected".[10]
