The Nobel Prize for Chemistry is awarded to three scientists who made a significant contribution to our increased understanding of the large molecules such as proteins. Among them is Mr Koichi Tanaka, 43, the youngest chemistry laureate since 1934, who is working for Shimadzu, a measuring device manufacturer. Mr Tanaka is reportedly an engineer who "adore" research and has no PhD degree... A news quite stimulating for us too!
