Wiley Nobel Laureates 2016

Nobel Laurates Badge

Since its inauguration in 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to individuals, teams and organisations for outstanding achievements in the fields of chemistry, physiology or medicine, physics, literature, economics and peace. As indicated by Alfred Nobel in his will, the Nobel Prize is established to recognize those who have "conferred the greatest benefit to mankind".

It is our great honour to have published the works more than 490 Nobel Laureates. This prestigious accolade conferred on our authors reaffirms Wiley's commitment to publishing quality content for the benefit of the research and scholarly communities.

 


Wiley is honoured to have published the works of these 2016 Nobel Laureates:

Chemistry:

Physiology or Medicine:

Economics:

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2016 has been awarded jointly to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, University of Strasbourg, France, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA, and Bernard L. Feringa, University of Groningen, The Netherlands, for the design and synthesis of molecular machines.

The Nobel Laureates have developed the world's smallest machines by taking molecular systems out of the stalemate of equilibrium into energy-filled states in which their movements can be controlled. Molecular machines will likely be used in the development of new materials, sensors, and energy storage systems.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2016 has been awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi, a cell biologist, for his discoveries on mechanisms for autophagy.  Autophagy has been known for over 50 years but its fundamental importance in physiology and medicine was only recognized after Yoshinori Ohsumi's paradigm-shifting research in the 1990's. Professor Ohsumi is currently based at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
