“This year’s prize is about taking the chemical experiment to cyberspace,” the Nobel Committee announced this morning, before giving this year’s chemistry prize to three scientists for their work on computer models of chemical interactions.
The winners are Martin Karplus, at the University of Strasbourg in France and Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Michael Levitt of Stanford University in California, and Arieh Warshel, at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
