This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for 'click' chemistry, which involves snapping together smaller molecules to form larger and more complex ones.
A trio of chemists from the United States and Denmark who laid the foundation for a more functional form of chemistry where molecules are snapped together on Wednesday won the Nobel Chemistry Prize.
Nobel Prize 2022: Carolyn R Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless were cited for their work on click chemistry and bioorthogonal reactions, which are used to make cancer drugs, map DNA and create materials that are tailored to a specific purpose.
This year's Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded in equal parts to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless for developing way of "snapping molecules together."
US scientist K Barry Sharpless has become the fifth person to receive the award twice, following his achievement in 2001.
