Nobel Prize in Chemistry: 1901-Present

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was the second that Alfred Nobel said in his will building up the prizes. The principal science prize was granted in 1901. Here is a full rundown of the victors by year:

2017: Jacques Dubochet, University of Lausanne, Switzerland, Joachim Frank, Columbia University, New York, and Richard Henderson, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, "for creating cryo-electron microscopy for the high-determination structure assurance of biomolecules in arrangement," as indicated by Nobelprize.org. Read more about how the trio's accomplishments changed how researchers can view and picture biomolecules at the nuclear level.

2016: Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa were together granted the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the plan and amalgamation of sub-atomic machines." The trio took science to another measurement by scaling down machines, the Nobel Foundation said.
