Reacción a "Reactions: Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Bawendi, Brus and Ekimov for discovering quantum dots"

The advent of quantum dots has created a new realm in fundamental physics: that of quantum dots or artificial atoms. In contrast to the little more than 100 natural atoms, there is an a priori infinite number of these artificial atoms, which can be made to order, thus adjusting their properties, both in the fabrication process and through appropriate external sources of confinement. Despite the vast array of applications of quantum dots developed in recent decades, it is foreseeable that these are only a small fraction of the applications they will have in the future.
