Story summary

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is set to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in Stockholm. Last year, three scientists received the prize for creating molecular structures capable of trapping large amounts of gas, which could help remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere or extract moisture from arid regions. This year's Nobel Prizes began with the Medicine Prize awarded on Monday and followed by the Physics Prize on Tuesday. The Literature Prize will be announced on Thursday, followed by the Peace Prize on Friday, concluding with the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences on Monday. Each prize comes with a cash award of 12 million Swedish kronor, equivalent to about $1.2 million.
