Nobel Prize Chemistry

Google DeepMind has silently open-sourced its frontier artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict the interaction between proteins and other molecules. Dubbed AlphaFold 3, the large language model is the successor of AlphaFold 2, whose research led to the creators of the large language model (LLM) Demis Hassabis and John Jumper getting the...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to David Baker for his work in computational protein design, and to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for their AI model that predicts protein structures. These achievements advance our understanding of proteins, which are crucial for life. Their research could lead to innovations in pharmaceutical...

The award this week of Nobel prizes in chemistry and physics to a small number of AI pioneers affiliated with Google has stirred debate over the company's research dominance and how breakthroughs in computer science ought to be recognised.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded on Wednesday to three scientists who have help unravel some of the enduring secrets of proteins, the building blocks of life.

Scientists David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the award-giving body said on Wednesday.

Quantum dots are tiny crystals that scientists can tune to different colours, giving an extra-vivid pop to next-generation TV screens or illuminating tumours inside bodies so surgeons can hunt them down.

The Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, which awards the Nobel Chemistry Prize, apologised Wednesday for a mistake that saw the laureates' names released to Swedish media hours before the formal announcement.

French-born Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus of the United States and Russian-born Alexei Ekimov on Wednesday won the Nobel Chemistry Prize for research in tiny particles known as quantum dots.

Swedish media outlets on Wednesday published what they reported were the seemingly leaked names of this year's Nobel chemistry prize recipients, hours before the laureates were to be announced.

2022: Carolyn Bertozzi (US), Morten Meldal (Denmark) and Barry Sharpless (US) for the development of click chemistry in which molecular building blocks snap together quickly and efficiently and are used in living organisms.

Synthetic biology, DNA sequencing and the development of new compounds are some of the research fields commentators say could be contenders for the Nobel Chemistry Prize to be announced Wednesday.

John Goodenough, who shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing the lithium-ion battery that revolutionized modern life, has died at the age of 100, the University of Texas announced.

Notably, he was 97 when he received the 2019 Nobel Prize for Chemistry along with Britain's Stanley Whittingham and Japan's Akira Yoshino, for their respective research into lithium-ion batteries.

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.
