The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1999 Extended

This year’s Nobel Laureate, Professor Ahmed Zewail, is rewarded for his pioneering investigations of chemical reactions on the time-scale they really occur. This is the same timescale on which the atoms in the molecules vibrate, namely femtoseconds (1 fs = 10-15 seconds). Only recently have developments in laser technology enabled us to study such rapid processes, using ultra-short laser flashe...

1989 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Sidney

Thomas Cech shared the 1989 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Sidney Altman (Enzymatic cleavage of RNA by RNA. Biosci. Rep. 10:317–337, 1990). That year we also published the lectures by the winners of the Physiology or Medicine prize: Harold E Varmus (Retroviruses and oncogenes I. Biosci. Rep. 10:413–430, 1990) and J Michael Bishop (Retroviruses and oncogenes II. Biosci. Rep. 10:473–491, 1990) an...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, founded in 1739, is an independent organisation whose overall objective is to promote the sciences and strengthen their influence in society. The Academy takes special responsibility for the natural sciences and mathematics, but endeavours to promote the exchange of ideas between various disciplines. The cells’ toolbox for DNA repair “for mechanistic studi...

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: A Large-Scale Prize for Achievements on the Nanoscale

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell, and William E. Moerner "for the development of superresolved fluorescence microscopy" can be seen as a combined prize for single-molecule detection and superresolution imaging. Neurons, arguably the most morphologically complex cell type, are the subject of choice for this application, now generically called "nanoscopy."
