CORRECTION
This story was updated on Sept. 12, 2022, to correct Steven P. Nolan’s name. The first name is Steven, not Steve. It was also updated to correct Joachim Sauer's affiliation. It is the Humboldt University of Berlin, not Charles University in Prague. And S. Ted Oyama’s affiliations were updated to include the University of Tokyo and Virginia Tech.
UPDATE:
This story was updated on Nov. 1, 2022, to include Carsten Krebs as copreceptor for the Nobel Laureate Signature Award for Graduate Education in Chemistry.
