Nobel Chemistry Prize

A co-recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Mr Molina is credited with successfully convincing governments to come together to save the planet's ozone layer.

The 'Click Chemistry' that won Morten Meldal, Barry Sharpless, and Carolyn Bertozzi this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is about making difficult processes easier.

Scientists Carolyn Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and Barry Sharpless won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry".

All eight winners of the 2021 Nobel Prizes in medicine, chemistry, physics and literature have been men, re-igniting a recurring debate about diversity in the highly coveted awards, particularly those in science.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Germany's Benjamin List and David MacMillan of the US won the for their development of a precise new tool for molecular construction.

The more than century-old prize is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and is worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.14 million).

Akira Yoshino, a co-winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on lithium-ion batteries, can take credit for the upheaval in both the automotive and technology industries.

Richard Ernst died today at the age of 87.

The Nobel Prize is widely considered the world's most prestigious award, so one would expect a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry to have excelled in the subject in school. However, there is actually one Chemistry Laureate who holds the distinction of having failed the topic in high school - although he says it's because his teacher took a dislike to him.

Two women scientists - Emmanuelle Charpentier, who is French, and American Jennifer Doudna - won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for creating genetic 'scissors' that can rewrite the code of life, contributing to new cancer therapies and holding out the prospect of curing hereditary diseases.

Emmanuelle Charpentier of France and Jennifer Doudna of the United States on Wednesday won the Nobel Chemistry Prize for developing the gene-editing technique known as the CRISPR-Cas9 DNA snipping "scissors".

Indian-American scientist Venkatraman Ramakrishnan was not in a good mood the day he received a phone call from Sweden, informing him that he had won the prestigious Nobel Prize.

From 1901 till 2018, 908 laureates and 27 organisations have received the Nobel Prize.

John B. Goodenough, who is considered an intellectual giant of solid state chemistry and physics, is the oldest person to ever win a Nobel Prize.

Nobel Prize 2019 for Chemistry has been awarded to John B Goodenough, Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino for the developing the lithium-ion batteries that are today used in everyday items from mobile phones to remote controls and even electric vehicles.
