ANNOUNCING THE 2026 WOLF PRIZE LAUREATES IN CHEMISTRY The 2026 Wolf Prize in Chemistry is awarded to Pascal Mayer, Shankar Balasubramanian and David Klenerman for developing impactful, low-cost, next generation DNA sequencing methods for genomic medicine. Their work helped transform DNA sequencing into a technology capable of operating at extraordinary speed and scale. Balasubramanian and Klenerman pioneered a massively parallel sequencing approach that contributed to a million-fold improvement in sequencing speed and cost, helping make it possible to sequence a human genome for under $200. Mayer played a pivotal role in turning those breakthroughs into a practical high-throughput sequencing system, integrating the chemistry, microfluidics, optics and computational components needed to make the technology work at scale. Today, the sequencing platform that grew from this work forms the technological foundation for more than 90% of global sequencing data, powering major advances in genomics and precision medicine.

Before starting to solve an NMR problem, you often need to pick a solvent that gives the best possible signal separation. #nmrchat #solvent #ochem 👇🧵

Retraites : qui devra faire un effort ? "Ce budget est un point de départ. Il a fallu fixer des paramètres. Nous sommes dans un moment grave. À 2 000 euros, on vit correctement", affirme Roland Lescure. Le ministre de l'Économie et des Finances était au micro de @Ben_Duhamel et Florence Paracuellos. ➡️En savoir plus : radiofrance.fr/franceinter/p…

The dwarf planet Pluto remained a blurry dot until NASA's New Horizons spacecraft captured images of it during a close flyby in 2015. After a journey of nearly 10 years and more than 4.5 billion kilometers, the probe came within just 12,500 kilometers of the dwarf planet.
