With Nobel-winning #clickchemistry, the Sharpless & Wu labs develop a new type of polysulfate compound that can form thin, flexible films with properties that could make it a material of choice for high-performance components, including electric vehicles. scripps.edu/news-and-events/…

Professor Shuichi Takayama spoke today about his lab's research and his Chemistry professor Barry Sharpless's inspirational work to win two Nobel prizes. Thank you for this insightful talk Professor Takayama. My inspiration has returned thanks to you. 🙏 @shulab_gatech

#DidYouKnow that 2022 #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry Barry Sharpless is the only living individual to have been awarded the prize twice? He is the fifth individual to receive two prizes. Sharpless received his first chemistry prize in 2001 and his second this year.

As a former student and a current collaborator of Barry Sharpless @scrippsresearch and a former postdoc of @CarolynBertozzi, I humbly recollect my memory of a few key moments along the journey toward the development of click and bioorthogonal chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

The chemist K. Barry Sharpless recently became just the fifth person in history to win the Nobel Prize twice. He was recognized in 2001 for the development of catalytic asymmetric synthesis, and again in 2022 for click chemistry. quantamagazine.org/molecule-…

When physics laureate Andrea Ghez and chemistry laureate Barry Sharpless met in Stockholm, Sweden: Ghez: Prof Sharpless I just wanted to introduce myself. You were my professor at MIT! Sharpless: Oh is that true? Hope I didn’t hurt you too much! Ghez: Oh no not at all!

Duplicate images? Almost. This past weekend saw K. Barry Sharpless receive his #NobelPrize at the awards ceremony in Stockholm – the same honor he experienced around this time over 20 years ago. #doubleNobel

We're excited to share a new case study, in collaboration with the Hein Lab, specialized in modern organic chemistry and using a Kinova® Gen3 to automate its processes. Read how a #robot can lead to faster and better results. @procrastiprof #LabAutomation bit.ly/3ho60Sp
