The Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the third award to be announced this year following the prizes for medicine and physics, was established under the will of Alfred Nobel. First awarded in 1901, the prize recognises individuals whose work has significantly benefited humankind. It remains a key honor in the scientific world, with past recipients including legends such as Ernest Rutherford and Marie Curie. The laureates will receive their awards and a medal from the Swedish king on December 10 during a ceremony at Stockholm City Hall, followed by a celebratory banquet. Last year’s award honored Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Aleksey Ekimov for their discovery of quantum dots, highlighting the ongoing contributions of chemistry to technological advancements.
