Three chemists were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work in creating "clicking" molecules

This year's Nobel Prize in chemistry was shared by three researchers for their work on a method of "snapping molecules together" that can be used to create more effective pharmaceuticals.

Click chemistry and bioorthogonal processes are used to generate cancer treatments, map DNA, and create purpose-built materials; these techniques were named after American researchers Carolyn R. Bertozzi and K. Barry Sharpless and Dani....
