China News Service, October 7th. According to the official website of the Nobel Prize, at noon on the 7th local time, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for their "development of a genome editing method."
Nobel Prize in Chemistry was first awarded in 1901. As of 2019, a total of 111 awards were awarded, and 183 people won the award.
Among them, the youngest winner of the chemistry prize is French physicist Frederick Jorio- Curie . At 35, he and his wife won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their research on artificial radioactivity.
The oldest winner of the Chemistry Prize is American scientist John Goodinav . He won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with two other scientists at the age of 97 for his contribution to the research and development of lithium batteries. Goodinav is also the oldest among all Nobel Prize winners.
