"TOP University is Coming" Editor's note, on October 5, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that American scientists Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Danish scientist Morten P. Meldal, and American scientist K. Barry Sharpless were awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in recognition of their contributions in the fields of click chemistry and biological orthogonal chemistry.
"TOP University is Coming" The editor noticed that K. Barry Sharpless won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2001, and won the Nobel Prize in again after 21 years. Let's congratulate Sharpless!

Chemistry is the science that is most closely related to Nobel 's own work, and it is also the second field of winning mentioned by Nobel in his will.
Chemistry is more like being at the center of the transition from different scientific fields, approaching physics that provides it with a theoretical basis, and on the other hand, approaching biology, because the discipline of biology is actually an extension of the most complex field of the entire discipline of chemistry.
In terms of the award-winning field, at least 25 winners contributed to organic chemistry research, more than any other field of winners.
The development trend of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in the 20th century can be predicted that with the development of computer technology, theoretical chemistry and computational chemistry will flourish in the 21st century, and the research of biological systems may become more important, shifting from single macromolecules to large interactive systems, such as chemical signals and neural functions including the brain.
187 Nobel Prize winners of Chemistry
The Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded since 1901, and as of 2021, a total of 187 people have won the award.
The first Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Dutch chemist Jacobs Henricus van 't Hoff in 1901 for his "discovery of the rules of chemistry kinetics and solution osmotic pressure".
British biochemist Frederick Sanger (Frederick Sanger) is the only scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry twice, while the other two Nobel Prize in Marie Curie and Linus Pauling are in different disciplines.
In history, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been suspended for 8 times, which occurred in 1916, 1917, 1919, 1924, 1933, 1940, 1941 and 1942 respectively.
