Alexey Ekimov or Aleksey Yekimov[1] (Russian: Алексей Екимов; born 1945) is a Russian[2] solid state physicist and a pioneer in nanomaterials research. He discovered the semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots in 1981, while working at the Vavilov State Optical Institute.[3][4][5] In 2023, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this discovery.
