Three scientists receive nobel prize in chemistry

Here are three scientists who have received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry:

1. Frédéric Joliot-Curie and Irène Joliot-Curie (1935)

Frédéric Joliot-Curie and his wife Irène Joliot-Curie were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 for their discovery of artificial radioactivity. They showed that certain elements could be transformed into radioactive isotopes by bombarding them with alpha particles.

2. Herbert C. Brown and Georg Wittig (1979)

Herbert C. Brown and Georg Wittig were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1979 for their work on the development of organic synthesis methods. Brown was recognized for his work on the use of organoboranes in organic synthesis, while Wittig was recognized for his development of the Wittig reaction, a method for forming carbon-carbon double bonds.

3. Akira Suzuki, Kenichi Fukui, and Harald zur Hausen (2010)

Akira Suzuki, Kenichi Fukui, and Harald zur Hausen were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010 for their work in different areas of chemistry. Suzuki was recognized for his development of the Suzuki reaction, a method for forming carbon-carbon bonds using palladium catalysts. Fukui was recognized for his work on the theory of chemical reactions, particularly his development of the Fukui function, which is used to predict the reactivity of molecules. Zur Hausen was recognized for his discovery of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and their role in causing cervical cancer.
