Nobel Prize in Chemistry (for work related to photosynthesis)

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded for work related to photosynthesis recognizes groundbreaking research into how plants and certain bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy. Scientists awarded this prize have elucidated the complex processes and molecules involved, such as how light energy excites electrons and drives the production of energy-rich compounds like sugars. Their findings deepen our understanding of one of nature’s most vital processes, which sustains life on Earth, and can inspire advancements in renewable energy and artificial photosynthesis technologies.
