The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is set to be announced soon, with contenders including research on sleep-regulating molecules and gene editing technologies. Clarivate has suggested potential winners like Daniel Drucker and David Liu, known for their roles in understanding hormones and precision gene editing, respectively. Other notable mentions include Harry Gray for his work on electron movement in proteins and Robert Langer for contributions to drug delivery systems. The award ceremony follows other Nobel announcements, such as the Physics prize awarded to Francis Halzen for his work on neutrinos.
