The prestigious Nobel Chemistry prize for 2023 was awarded to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Aleksey Ekimov, the three scientists that discovered quantum dots.  The Nobel prize is worth 11 million Swedish crowns (around $1 million), and will be split between the 3 winners.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, that awards the prize, stated that "Researchers believe that in the future they (QDs) could contribute to flexible electronics, tiny sensors, thinner solar cells and encrypted quantum communication".

Value Electronics hosted their annual TV shootout, checking several high-end TVs to see which model provides the best images.

There were six TVs tested in the 4K TV category, two QD-OLEDs, one OLED, and three mini-LED LCDs. The best TV was Sony's A95L QD-OLED TV. The runner-ups were Samsung's S95C (another QD-OLED TV) and LG's G3 OLED (with an LGD WOLED Panel).
