Chemistry Nobel Prize 2005

the chemistry nobel prize in 2005 has been awarded for "for the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis". three people recieved the prize. one of them, Robert Grubbs, actually came to speak at the school i go to a year ago. super nice guy and some great chemistry. check out the brief description at nobelprize.org, the animation is a good rendering of what happens and it is kinda fun to watch.
