The prize has been shared between Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Alexey Ekimov for discoveries on the unique properties of nano-materials, and how to make them.
Their work paved the way for wide-ranging applications in consumer electronics, biochemistry and medicine.
Bawendi is an American chemist of French and Tunisian descent, based at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Brus is at Columbia University in New York, and Ekimov is chief scientist at Nanocrystals Technology, a New York-based company.
The official announcement came after the three names were leaked in an email to a Swedish newspaper earlier yesterday morning. Johan Aqvist, chair of the academy's Nobel committee for chemistry, said that at the time of the inadvertent email the academy had not made a decision about the prize winners.
