Scientists List and MacMillan win Nobel Chemistry Prize
Nobel Prize is a set of five prizes awarded to those who have granted a tremendous advantage to humankind. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is granted yearly by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists in numerous domains of chemistry.
Till now, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been allotted 113 times to 188 Nobel Prize laureates between 1901 to 2021. There were so many predictions this year about who is going to win the award but not many people assumed that the Nobel Prize would be awarded to this duo.

The duo received the Nobel Chemistry Prize on Wednesday for developing new equipment for constructing molecules that will assist the formulation of new medications and are also extra eco-friendly.
Scientists Benjamin List and David MacMillan together evolved inventive equipment to build molecules that can be utilized to push the volumes of chemical reactions. The duo earned the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their progress in asymmetric organocatalysis. It is a fresh and creative tool for molecule building.

In 2000, the duo discovered that there is another new third type of catalyst known as an asymmetrical organocatalyst. Previously, it was believed that only metals and enzymes can act as catalysts and speed up chemical reactions.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences claimed that Organic catalysts can be utilized to push multitudes of chemical reactions. It further augmented that by utilizing these reactions, researchers can directly and efficiently construct anything from new drugs to molecules that can capture light in solar cells. They said these catalysts were both eco-friendly and inexpensive to manufacture.

Wittung-Stafshede, a member of the Nobel Prize in chemistry said that this asymmetric organocatalyst is a new toolbox that is utilized vastly in drug discovery, and fine chemicals generation and is already aiding humankind greatly.
The new asymmetrical organocatalysts have been utilized in numerous ways in the past two decades. Its application included creating new pharmaceuticals and building molecules that capture light in solar cells. The committee attributed the duo of Scientists, Benjamin List and David Macmillatoith “bringing the greatest benefit to humankind.”
