It is with great sympathy that we share the news that Dr. Louis Brus, Samuel Latham Mitchill Professor Emeritus and Special Research Scientist at Columbia University, passed away on January 11. Dr. Brus was a long-time Advisor and reviewer for the Foundation, as well as a speaker at many Teacher-Scholar Symposia. Among his many awards and honors, he received the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots,” nanosized particles with unique properties used in everything from televisions to LED bulbs. He will be missed.
