Nobel Prize for chemistry awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan for their work in developing a new way for building molecules known as “asymmetric organocatalysis.”
has been awarded to German scientist Benjamin List of the Max Planck Institute and Scotland-born scientist David W.C. MacMillan of Princeton University.
They were cited for their work in developing a new way for building molecules known as “asymmetric organocatalysis.” The winners were announced Wednesday by Goran Hansson, secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It is common for several scientists who work in related fields to share the prize. Last year, the prize went tofor developing a gene-editing tool that has revolutionized science by providing a way to alter DNA.
The prestigious award comes with a gold medal and 10 million Swedish kronor . The prize money comes from a bequest left by the prize’s creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, who died in 1895.
