Moungi Bawendi, professor at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is a co-winner of 2023's Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on "quantum dots." It turns out that the 62-year-old Nobel laureate had a rocky start to his college academic journey. As a Harvard undergraduate in late 1970s, Bawendi failed his very first chemistry exam. He scored a mere 20 out of 100 on that test, the lowest in his class, and recalls the experience nearly "destroyed" him, per AFP.
