· World · ABC News, New York Times, Hindustan Times
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will award the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday in Stockholm. The prize money for this year's Nobel awards is 12 million Swedish kronor, equivalent to about $1.2 million. Last year's chemistry prize was awarded to three scientists for developing molecular structures that trap gas, with potential applications in reducing greenhouse gases or harvesting moisture from deserts. This year's Nobel series began with the medicine prize on Monday, awarded to three scientists for work leading to a tool that uses light to study brain function. The physics prize was awarded on Tuesday to a scientist for research on a rare group of neutrinos. The literature prize will be awarded on Thursday, followed by the peace prize on Friday, and the economics prize on the subsequent Monday.
Why it matters
The Nobel Prize in chemistry highlights ongoing scientific efforts to address global challenges such as climate change and water scarcity. Recognition of such research can accelerate funding and collaboration in molecular science and environmental technology.
