Sweden's Royal Academy of Sciences has inadvertently published names of three scientists it said had won this year's Nobel Chemistry Prize, although the award-giving institute said the decision was still hours away.
"The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2023 rewards the discovery and development of quantum dots, nanoparticles that are so small that their size determines their properties," the academy wrote in an email, according to Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter.
Johan Aqvist, chair of the academy's Nobel committee for chemistry, however told Reuters:"It is a mistake by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. "Our meeting starts at 9.30am CET so no decision has been made yet. The winners have not been selected."Daily Aftonbladet published a copy of the academy's email naming the laureates as Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov.
The more than century-old prize is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and is worth 11 million Swedish krona .
