Nobel Prize Awarded to Chemists Who Discovered Reactions That Snap Molecules Together Like Lego
STOCKHOLM—Scientists Carolyn Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, and Barry Sharpless won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for discovering reactions that let molecules snap together to create new compounds and that offer insight into cell biology. The field of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry has been harnessed to improve the targeting of cancer pharmaceuticals now…
3 Physicists Share Nobel Prize for Work on Quantum Science
Three scientists jointly won this year’s Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for proving that tiny particles could retain a connection with each other even when separated, a phenomenon once doubted but now being explored for potential real-world applications such as encrypting information. Frenchman Alain Aspect, American John F. Clauser, and Austrian Anton Zeilinger were cited…
Global Environment in Much Better Shape Than We’re Led to Believe, Says Ecomodernist

Space Telescopes Capture Asteroid Slam With Striking Clarity
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—The world now has stunning new photos of this week’s asteroid strike, the first planetary defense test of its kind. NASA on Thursday released pictures of the dramatic event taken by the Hubble and Webb space telescopes. A few hours later, SpaceX joined NASA in announcing that they’re studying the feasibility of sending…
NASA Spacecraft Buzzes Jupiter Moon Europa, Closest in Years
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—NASA’s Juno spacecraft has made the closest approach to Jupiter’s tantalizing, icy moon Europa in more than 20 years. Juno on Thursday zipped within approximately 219 miles (352 kilometers) of Europa, thought to have an ocean flowing beneath its thick frozen crust, raising the possibility of underwater life. Scientists hailed the flyby as…
