The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to John B. Gooden, M. Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino "for developing lithium-ion batteries," the Royal Academy of Sciences of Sweden said on Wednesday.
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized the technology world. Batteries power everyday products like smartphones, laptops, and even electric cars.
“By their work, the chemistry laureates this year laid the foundation for a wireless society without fossil fuels,” the Nobel Foundation said, announcing this year's winners.
John B. Goodenough was born in Germany in 1922 and is currently studying at the University of Texas at the United States. M. Stanley Whittingham was born in 1941 in the UK and currently teaches at the University of Binghamton in the United States. Akira Yoshino was born in 1948 in Japan and is currently a professor at the University of Mayo in Japan.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded by the Royal Academy of Sciences of Sweden and is one of five Nobel Prizes established by the will of Alfred Nobel, businessman, chemist, engineer, inventor and philanthropist.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded 110 times to 180 individuals between 1901 and 2018.
Earlier this week, Canadian-American cosmologist James Peebles and Swiss scientists Michel Mayor and Didier Kelos received the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the miracle of the evolution of the universe and discovering planets orbiting distant suns.
On the other hand, the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to scientists William G. Cailin, Jr., Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenets for their discoveries "of how cells feel and adapt to the availability of oxygen."
The Nobel Prize for Literature will be announced on Thursday, and the Nobel Prize for Peace will be held on Friday.
On Monday, October 14th, the Nobel Prize in Economics will be announced, commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics (the will of Alfred Nobel did not establish an award in economics).
