Chemistry Nobel for Quantum Dots

Though Quantum Dots are a physics phenomeneon, I laud the Chemistry prize which is about the synthesis.

I enjoyed hearing about the physics prize for developing a way tracking the movement of electrons using flashes of light.

That is also a fascinating result.

Isn't there some controversy about that, maybe wrong folks given the prize?

There always is. There is this one prize and it is really really difficult to chose the one big thing, everyone would agree... 2017 a lot of chemist had the opinion, that the Prize should have been awarded in physics and a much more "chemcial" topic chosen for chemistry.
