Nobel Prize in Chemistry’s Spotlight on Nanotechnology Shines Light on Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) Efforts to Develop Catalytically Active Nanoparticles – InvestorBrandNetwork (IBN) Content Platform

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus, and Aleksey Yekimov for their efforts in discovering and synthesizing quantum dots, recognizes the power of nanotechnology
Nanoscience is the study of structures and molecules whose sizes range between 1 and 100 nm, while nanotechnology is the technology that utilizes nanoscience in practical applications
The applications of nanotechnology are wide-ranging, from industrial-scale catalysis and modern electronics to precision medicine and quantum technology
Clene Inc., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, has applied nanotechnology alongside other science concepts in the development of catalytically active nanocrystals
The catalytic activities of the nanocrystals drive, support, and maintain beneficial metabolic and energetic cellular reactions within diseased, stressed, and damaged cells

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (“the Academy”), which is responsible for awarding Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics, decided to award this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus, and Aleksey Yekimov for their efforts in discovering and synthesizing quantum dots, nanometer-sized semiconductor crystals that bring colored light to TV screens with Q-LED technology (https://ibn.fm/shWLi). The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognizes the power of nanotechnology and the importance of quantum dots in nanotechnology.

Although the origins of nanotechnology predate the trio of laureates, their work was “part of the earliest wave of modern nanotechnology where researchers began putting breakthroughs in material science to practical use,” according to Andrew Maynard, Professor of Advanced Technology Transitions at the…
