Podcast appearances and mentions of benjamin list

Welche Sprunginnovation wünschst Du Dir für das Jahr 2050? In unserer kurzen Sommerfolge haben wir die Anworten von einigen unserer prominenten Gäste zusammengestellt, darunter der Nobelpreisträger Benjamin List und Stephan Hell, des Informatikers Sebastian Thrun, der Astronauten-Kandidatin Nicola Winter, der Wirtschaftsweisen Veronika Grimm und des Wissenschaftscomedian Vince Ebert. Bleibt auch am Strand bitte neugierig!

Estima-se que 35% do PIB global esteja ligado direta ou indiretamente às reações de catálise. Para a indústria, catalisadores mais eficientes significam reações mais rápidas e com menos desperdício, portanto mais receita e menos impacto ambiental. Em 2021, a área levou o Nobel de Química com Benjamin List e David MCMillan. Este episódio traz uma conversa sobre catálise sustentável, catálise para a química verde, tema de workshop, conferência e sessão coordenada na 47a RASBQ com os integrantes da Divisão de Catálise da SBQ: Eduardo Nicolau dos Santos (UFMG), diretor, Katia Bernardo Gusmão (UFRGS), vice-diretora, e Marco André Fraga (Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia), tesoureiro.

Für seine Arbeiten zur asymmetrischen Organokatalyse wurde Benjamin List mit dem Nobelpreis in Chemie 2021 ausgezeichnet. Er entstammt einer Wissenschaftlerfamilie; Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, die gestern unser Gast war, ist seine Tante. Der bekennende Fan von Eintracht Frankfurt überlebte 2004 in Khao Lak mit seiner Familie den Tsunami.

Der Chemie-Nobelpreisträger spricht mit Arnd Zeigler u.a. über seine Fußball- und Fan-Sozialisation, seine Frankfurter Eintracht, ihre Europapokal-Triumphe, die er live vor Ort erlebt hat und seine revolutionäre VAR-Idee. Außerdem erklärt er, dass die Chemie gar nicht so weit weg ist vom Fußball, er beruflich seit Jahren in der Champions League spielt und privat klassische Musik sowie Städtereisen liebt. Von Arnd Zeigler.

Schönheit, Zauber und Magie - das sind Worte, die Benjamin List gerne verwendet, wenn er über sein Forschungsfeld spricht. Seine Begeisterung hat ihn weit gebracht, 2021 wurde ihm der Nobelpreis für Chemie verliehen. Als er in Stockholm feierte, war auch seine Tante mit dabei, Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, die als erste Frau in Deutschland mit dem Nobelpreis für Medizin geehrt wurde. Liegt der Nobel-Erfolg in der Familie? (Wdh. vom 15.05.2023)

Schönheit, Zauber und Magie - das sind Worte, die Benjamin List gerne verwendet, wenn er über sein Forschungsfeld spricht. Seine Begeisterung hat ihn weit gebracht, 2021 wurde ihm der Nobelpreis für Chemie verliehen. Als er in Stockholm feierte, war auch seine Tante mit dabei, Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, die als erste Frau in Deutschland mit dem Nobelpreis für Medizin geehrt wurde. Liegt der Nobel-Erfolg in der Familie?

Wie gewinnt man einen Nobelpreis? Erstens: An etwas forschen, woran niemand anderes forscht. Zweitens: Dem eigenen Enthusiasmus folgen. Gut, damit allein ist es vielleicht noch nicht getan, räumt Nobelpreisträger Benjamin List ein. Er hat 2021, gemeinsam mit dem Chemiker David MacMillan, den wichtigsten Wissenschaftspreis der Welt im Fach Chemie gewonnen: „Die Chemiker sind schon ein bisschen ‚nerdig‘. Das muss ich zugeben. Es ist schon komisch, dass man sich nicht so sehr für Menschen, sondern eher für Materie interessiert.“ Was für ein Mensch ist List? Dem gehen FUNKE-Verlegerin Julia Becker und Moderator Jörg Thadeusz in der neuen Folge des Podcasts "Salon FUNKE" nach. Gab es familiären Druck, dass List einen Weg in der Wissenschaft einschlägt? Denn, kleine Randnotiz: Lists Tante, Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, hat in den 90ern einen Nobelpreis gewonnen. Doch auch Lists Mutter habe schon das Credo verfolgt: „Mach das, was dir Spaß macht!“ Ein einschneidendes Erlebnis hat Lists Leben und das seiner Familie stark geprägt. Im Jahr 2004 erlebten List, seine Frau und die beiden Söhne den Tsunami in Thailand. Rund 230.000 Menschen starben nach dem Erdbeben im Indischen Ozean und seinen Folgen. List und seine Familie überlebten. Seine Frau sei bis heute jeden Tag dankbar, dass sie überlebt haben. Und auch List beschreibt, dass er sich gut ein Jahr danach in einem besonderen Zustand befunden hätte: „Ich war total glücklich und dankbar und wusste einfach, worauf es im Leben ankommt. Und das war eben nicht, dass ich einen großen Preis kriege oder dass mich Kollegen zitieren oder dass ich Anerkennung für meine Arbeit finde oder mir ein tolles Auto kaufe oder solche Dinge. Das hat mich wirklich komplett nicht mehr interessiert in dem Moment, ich war davon befreit - für eine lange Zeit.“ Sprung in die Zukunft, 17 Jahre später: List forscht an natürlichen Stoffen, die eine chemische Reaktion auslösen können. Er habe die Chance, die Welt zu verändern, meint Moderator Jörg Thadeusz. „Katalyse hat in der Vergangenheit die Welt verändert“, entgegnet List. Ohne das Haber-Bosch-Verfahren, mit dem Ammoniak hergestellt und welches als Dünger eingesetzt wird, gäbe es nicht acht Milliarden sondern maximal zwei bis vier Milliarden Menschen auf dem Planeten, sagt er. „Aber ich möchte mir jetzt nicht anmaßen, dass das meine Entdeckung auch gemacht hat. Ich freue mich, dass sie eingesetzt wird. Dass damit Medikamente hergestellt werden, sodass ich indirekt Menschenleben rette.“ List hat aber schon eine neue Idee: CO2 in Kohle und Sauerstoff spalten. „Ich finde, eigentlich ist das die schönste Aufgabe für Chemiker, jetzt auch was dazu beizutragen, den Klimawandel ein bisschen abzumildern. Das wäre wirklich eine Reaktion, die würde das komplett erledigen - mit einem Schlag. Wenn man die wirklich im großen Maßstab durchführen könnte.“ Wie nah ist Benjamin List an diesem wissenschaftlichen Ziel? Die Antwort hören Sie in der neuen Podcastfolge.

"Try to follow your enthusiasm and do what you are really passionate about and what you really love to do.” As a child, Benjamin List thought chemists held the keys to the secrets of the universe. Luckily, by the time he learned this wasn't so, he was already hooked on doing chemistry experiments he found in books. Even today, he still feels passion for the field, and tries to surround himself with passionate researchers.Benjamin List was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with David MacMillan, for his work in developing asymmetric organocatalysis, a tool for building new molecules, in cleaner and more efficient ways.Your host is Adam Smith, Chief Scientific Officer at Nobel Prize Outreach.

Dieses Mal zu Gast: Nobelpreisträger Prof. Dr. Benjamin List. Die Mitbegründung der asymmetrischen Organokatalyse brachte seinen Namen in aller Munde. Was war seine Motivation? Welche Tipps und Tricks hat er für anstrebende Chemiker*innen? Und welche Frage würde er eigentlich gerne mal gestellt bekommen? Das und vieles mehr gibt es in der neuen Episode “Alles Chlor! - Prof. Lists noble Ratschläge” zu hören.

Margarete Wietelmann und Sven Bortlisch begrüßen Sarah-Lena Gombert vom Mülheimer Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung im "Funkhaus Auerstraße". In der ersten Folge des Jahres 2022 sprechen sie über Mülheim als Forschungsstandort und die Arbeit des MPI.

(14:07) O premio Nobeld de quimica 2021 ganárono Benjamin List e David MacMillan polo desenvolvemento da organocatálise asimétrica. En 20 anos esta nova tecnoloxía ten revolucionado o mundo dos catalizadores, unha industria da que dependo un terzo do PIB mundial. A potencia da catálise asimétrica amósase na síntese da estricnina, o cubo de Rubik dos químicos orgánicos. Esta metodoloxía ten un rendemento 7000 veces maior que a síntese tradicional. Conversamos no CIQUS-USC co investigador científico do CSIC Fernando López, especialista en catálise asimétrica. (4:18) Por que ao estar coa regra entran ganas de comer trapalladas coma unha lima?

I Kalifornien hade han Stilla Havets valar utanför fönstret. Nu får Benjamin List istället titta på Ruhr-området genom sitt fönster. Här finns goda förutsättningar att hitta nya katalysatorer. Små organiska molekyler, som aminosyror, fungerar bra att använda som katalysatorer, alltså för att underlätta kemiska reaktioner. De kan också få fram precis rätt sort av ett ämne - dess "högerhänta" eller "vänsterhänta" variant, vilket är viktigt när det gäller att ta fram eller tillverka läkemedel.Upptäckten som Benjamin List gjorde i slutet av 1990-talet, samtidigt som årets andre kemipristagare, David Macmillan, har satt igång mycket forskning. Vi har träffat List på Max Planck Institut Für Kohlenforschung i tyska Mülheim.Programledare: Camilla Widebeck camilla.widebeck@sverigesradio.se

Benjamin List saß beim Urlaubs-Frühstück in Amsterdam, als der Anruf kam - der Anruf des Nobelpreiskomittees, um ihm mitzuteilen, dass er einer der beiden Preisträger für Chemie 2021 ist. Benjamin List arbeitet am Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, für seine Forschung ist er schon mehrfach ausgezeichnet worden. Am Montag war er zu Gast bei WDR 2 Jörg Thadeusz.

In this episode, Bea talks to Prof. Benjamin List, director at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung and 2021 Chemistry Nobel Laureate "for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis". Benjamin talks about his work, the pivotal point on the way to the discovery of organocatalysis, and what it means for pharmaceutical research as well as medicine and industry. We talk about mRNA technology, transition-metal catalysis and organocatalysis, basic research in organic chemistry, advances in the field, and questions that are yet to be answered. Benjamin talks about the role of creativity in chemical research, making chemistry greener, and the biggest challenge that is global warming. We also discuss the importance of communicating chemistry and the difficulty in translating its special language to illustrate its ubiquity in every part of our lives.

Susan Link und Micky Beisenherz begrüßen den Chemie-Nobelpreisträger Benjamin List, den ehemaligen Skirennläufer Felix Neureuther, die Kabarettistin und Sängerin Ina Müller, die Journalistin Siham El-Maimouni und den Influencer Riccardo Simonetti, der gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter Anna Simonetti zu Gast ist.

El Nobel de Química 2021 ha sido para dos jóvenes científicos, el alemán Benjamin List y el escocés David MacMillan, afincado en Estados Unidos, por haber desarrollado una nueva herramienta para la química, la organocatálisis asimétrica, más limpia y ecológica gracias a un tercer tipo de catalizador. Esta nueva herramienta puede utilizarse para fabricar todo tipo de productos, desde medicamentos hasta aromas para la industria alimenticia.  El alemán Benjamin List y el escocés David MacMillan, éste último instalado en Estados Unidos son dos investigadores, relativamente jóvenes -ambos tienen 53 años -  y ya son ganadores del nobel de Química 2021. ¿Su logro? Haber revolucionado el campo de la química en el campo de los catalizadores, sustancias que controlan y aceleran las reacciones químicas. Hasta no hace mucho, se pensaba que sólo había dos tipos de catalizadores disponibles, los metales y las enzimas. Pero Benjamin List y David MacMillan, cada uno por su lado, pusieron en marcha un tercer tipo, utilizando pequeñas moléculas orgánicas, dando nacimiento a un nuevo tipo de catalizador o un nuevo procedimiento, la organocatálisis asimétrica, mucho más barato y limpio para el medio ambiente.  Esta nueva forma "ingeniosa" de construir moléculas puede utilizarse para fabricar todo tipo de productos, desde medicamentos hasta aromas para la industria alimenticia.  Goran Hansson, de la Real Academia Sueca de Ciencias, dijo el miércoles 6 de octubre del 2021 durante el anuncio del premio, que el trabajo de ambos científicos  ya ha tenido un impacto significativo en la investigación farmacéutica. Gran alegría en el ISQCH El Instituto de Síntesis Química y Catálisis Homogénea (ISQCH) es un Instituto de Investigación Mixto de titularidad compartida entre el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) y la Universidad de Zaragoza (UZ).  Creado hace menos de diez años,  sus investigadores se especializan precisamente en este nuevo tipo de catalizador y cómo era de esperarse, están muy contentos y emocionados con la noticia de este Nobel 2021 de Química.  RFI conversó con tres integrantes de este Instituto, Raquel Pérez Herrera, investigadora, Juan Mangas, investigador ARAID (programa de Aragón Innovación+ Desarrollo para la captación de talentos jóvenes) y Eugenia Márquez López, profesora titular de la Universidad de Zaragoza, España.  Escuche aquí la entrevista completa con los tres especialistas: Otros temas que le pueden interesar: Nobel de Física 2021: Manabe, Hasselmann y Parisi, dos meteorólogos climatólogos y un físico teórico

This week on MOATS: The Podcast Bonus Episode Professor Dave MacMillan is one of two scientists who have been awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on building molecules that are mirror images of one another. German-born Benjamin List and Scotland-born David MacMillan were announced as the winners at an event in Stockholm. Their chemical toolkit has been used for discovering new drugs and making molecules that can capture light in solar cells. In 2006, Dave was named the A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University. From 2010-2015, Dave served as the Chair of the Chemistry Department at Princeton. He is currently the James S.

Wir beginnen den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit der am Montag von zehn EU-Ländern an die Europäische Kommission gerichteten Aufforderung, Kernenergie als grüne Energiequelle zu klassifizieren. Danach werden wir die Verleihung des Friedensnobelpreises 2021 an zwei unabhängige investigative Journalisten diskutieren. Wir sprechen auch über eine in der Oktober-Ausgabe der Zeitschrift Lancet Planetary Health veröffentlichte Studie, die zeigt, dass der tägliche Fleischkonsum in Großbritannien in den letzten zehn Jahren um 17 % zurückgegangen ist. Und zum Schluss besprechen wir noch die Verleihung der Auszeichnung „World's 50 Best Restaurants“ 2021 in Antwerpen in Belgien. In „Trending in Germany“ bleiben wir bei den Nobelpreisen 2021. Die deutschen Wissenschaftler Klaus Hasselmann und Benjamin List sind unter den Nobelpreisträgern in Physik und Chemie. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, dass Österreich ein preisgünstiges Jahresticket angekündigt hat, mit dem man den Bus und die Bahn im ganzen Land benutzen kann. Es gibt jetzt Forderungen nach einem solchen Ticket auch für Deutschland. - Energiekrise in der EU heizt die Debatte über die Klassifizierung von Kernenergie in Europa weiter an - Unabhängige regierungskritische Journalisten erhalten den Friedensnobelpreis - Großbritannien konsumiert 17 % weniger rotes Fleisch - Die zwei besten Restaurants der Welt sind in Kopenhagen - Zwei Deutsche unter den diesjährigen Nobelpreisträgern für Physik und Chemie - Bahnfahren wie in Österreich

The Nobel Prize, instituted in 1901, was initially awarded in five categories – Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace.  A sixth award, the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences was instituted in 1968 by the Royal Bank of Sweden and first awarded in 1969.  The Nobel Prize is named after Swedish inventor and industrialist Alfred Nobel, and is awarded annually from a fund that Nobel set aside in his 1895 will for this purpose.  This year's Nobel Prize was unique. We had the first Nobel for climate scientists.  The Nobel Prize in Physics this year went to Syukuru Manabe, a Japanese-American meteorologist and climatologist, for his pioneering work on understanding climate change.  In 1967, Manabe and Richard Wetherland wrote a research paper describing the impact of carbon dioxide and water vapour on global warming. Manabe, now at Princeton University, shared one half of the prize with Klaus Hasselmann, another climate scientist. Hasselmann, 89, from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, used Manabe's work and created computer models that managed to link weather and climate. Hasselmann's work helped scientists identify whether a certain phenomenon was caused by natural forces or human activity The other half of the Physics Nobel went to Georgio Parisi for his contributions in advancing the understanding of complex systems Complex systems have a very high degree of randomness, like weather and climate phenomena The Physics Nobel for climate scientists is perhaps a greater indication of how fraught our future is by the perils of global warming.  Before this, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had won the Peace Nobel in 2007, for its role in creating awareness about the fight against climate change.  The Nobel Prize for chemistry this time has been awarded to Benjamin List and David WC MacMillan. The Nobel panel said List and MacMillan in 2000 independently developed a new way of catalysis. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without taking part in the reaction, or without undergoing any changes during the chemical reaction. The Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine has been awarded to American scientists David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian.  They've understood the mechanism through which our body perceives temperature and pressure.  The award-giving body said their discovery could pave the way for new pain-killers. The Nobel Peace Prize this year went to two journalists, from the Philippines and Russia, who have been running independent news organisations in their countries in authoritarian regimes where they face threats of detention and death.  Maria Ressa of the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov of Russia received the Prize “for their courageous fight for freedom of expression”. This year's Nobel Prize for Literature went to 72-year-old Tanzanian novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah, an author of 10 novels and several short stories. And, the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences went to 3 US-based economists David Card, Joshua D Angrist and Guido W Imbens.  David Card is a Canadian labour economist and Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.  He has won the Nobel for his empirical contributions to labour economics.  Card has analysed the labour market effects of minimum wages, immigration and education. His work has challenged conventional wisdom. The results of his studies on restaurants in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania have shown that increasing the minimum wage does not necessarily lead to fewer jobs.  "We now know that the incomes of people who were born in a country can benefit from new immigration, while people who immigrated at an earlier time risk being negatively affected. We have also realised that resources in schools are far more important for students' future labour market success than was previously thought," the Nobel

Kathleen opens the show drinking a Woodscraft IPA from Great Escape Beerworks in Springfield, MO. She then gives the Termites a summary of her birthday activity at her sister's house in Jefferson City, where her nieces and nephew made her a cake covered in animal faces to represent her yard. Kathleen then headed to Johnny Morris's Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, MO for a few days of fun golf with her siblings and friends, thrilled to be able to play Tiger Woods' Payne's Valley course while she was there. Kathleen was given a few birthday presents last week: Ron White gave her a new driver for her golf bag, her cousins gave her a pair of limited edition Hidden Valley Ranch Crocs (which she's excited to wear), and her friend Heidi gave her a cool Ranch cookbook and gallons of ranch dressing, which she'll put to good use the next time her nieces and nephews visit her house.TERMITE SHOUTOUTS: Kathleen gives thanks to the Termites who leave notes at shows and send mail to her PO Box. She begins by thanking Termite Denise for the “May I Please Have a Vodka Cranberry?” mask to wear on airplanes. Termites Kendra (who is a Liquor Inspector) and Sarah sent some fun “Bridgeport Badger” tees to celebrate their basement bar, and Termites Ashley and Joseph invited Kathleen to their wedding and sent a Ranch themed insulated cup that Kathleen can't wait to use on her boat. “GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Scorchin' BBQ Pringles, which she finds to be WAY too hot. She moves on to taste Sir Kensington's Ranch, which is dairy-free and has a hint of dill in it. Kathleen gives it a thumbs-up, but she feels that the texture and tang makes it more of a dip than a dressing. She finishes her tasting with Charlie Gitto's Sweet Italian Vinaigrette from St. Louis, which she loves on a salad as part of a massive Italian dinner but will always prefer anything from Imo's (also a St. Louis original.)UPDATE ON KATHLEEN'S QUEEN'S COURT: Kathleen provides an update on the Queens, reporting that Queen Dolly has released a line of Christmas holiday cooking line with Williams Sonoma which is available to order now. Queen Tanya celebrated her birthday October 10th and posted a video of her cake, and Cher announced on Twitter that “she's back,” whatever that means to Queen Cher this week ☺ WALLY THE WALRUS WEBCAM: As a follow-up to Episode 56, Kathleen announces that Wally the Walrus has swum from Ireland to Iceland, where the Icelandic people have renamed him, Valli. A webcam has been set up so that people can watch a live stream of his activity. NRA REELECTS THEIR KING: Kathleen reads an update announcing that the NRA recently reelected their CEO, Wayne LaPierre. The NY Attorney General's office is suing to dissolve the NRA for allegedly misusing charitable funds, but the NRA feels as though the AG's office has a “misinformed view” of their unparalleled dedication to the Second Amendment. OOPS BRITNEY DID IT AGAIN: Waist-deep in the aftermath of the #FreeBritney movement, Kathleen shakes her head when reading an update that Britney Spears, temporarily free from her Conservatorship, has once again taken to Instagram to post a risqué video of her frolicking topless in the ocean. SHAKIRA ATTACKED BY WILD BOARS: Kathleen reads an article from Spain advising that in addition to Shakira's tax woes, the pop singer has also revealed that she and her son were recently attacked by a pair of wild boars in a park near Barcelona. The hogs attacked Shakira and stole her purse, which was documented in a series of Instagram Stories on the singer's account. Kathleen muses that the cause of the purse snatching must have been caused by “secret snacks” in Shakira's handbag, admitting that she also has secret treats in her travel purse with her favorites being Lance Crackers and Tootsie Pops (specifically the “red” kind.)MURDAUGH MURDER INVESTIGATION CONTINUES: Kathleen is fascinated with the ongoing news being released in South Carolina regarding the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh and is thrilled to have been connected with journalist Mandy Matney via Twitter. Matney, along with her fiancé David, are the team investigating this corrupt family and all the cover-ups that have been made on their behalf for decades as they maintained power in a finite area of South Carolina, reporting their findings on their “Murdaugh Murders” podcast. Kathleen reads the latest development after the arrest of patriarch Alex Murdaugh, who is accused of being the mastermind behind the diversion of more than $3.5 million in death settlement money meant for the sons of his family's deceased housekeeper to an account said to be fraudulent.BARRY MANILOW SET TO BREAK ELVIS'S VEGAS RECORD: Kathleen is a massive fan of both Elvis and Barry Manilow, and is excited to read an article advising that although Elvis Presley holds the record for most performances in Vegas, Barry Manilow will pass him after signing a major deal that runs through 2023.Elvis Presley played a staggering 837 shows in Sin City, according to Showbiz 411, but Manilow's new contract with the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino will push him past that mark. SCIENCE IS HARD: Kathleen reads an article announcing the winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry and laughs out loud because she doesn't understand ANY of the details explaining why the award was given. Benjamin List and David MacMillan received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 for their development of a precise new tool for molecular construction: organocatalysis. The technology has had a great impact on pharmaceutical research and has made chemistry greener. Kathleen reads the released a few times and states her ongoing position that “science is hard.”A CRYPTO TRADING HAMSTER: That's right, Termites. Kathleen reads an article about Mr. Goxx, a German hamster who is crushing the cryptocurrency market with his trading and outtrading human investors. Mr. Goxx initiates a trade by entering The Goxx Box, occasionally running on the “Intention Wheel” and then choosing either the “Buy” or “Sell” tunnel that will cause the transaction to take place. All trading activity is available to stream on Twitch (where he is listed as the CEO of Goxx Capital), or you can watch Mr. Goxx's YouTube channel for past activity ☺ MISSOURI CANNIBALS AND VICKI'S GUN: Kathleen is horrified to read an article from her home state of Missouri, where the FBI office in Kansas City received an anonymous tip on September 16th advising that a woman had been kidnapped and photos of her in a cage were being circulated on the Dark Web. Local law enforcement in Dallas County obtained a search warrant for James Phelps, who has since been arrested. Further investigation found that Phelps is a cannibal, and human remains have been located on his property. As this county isn't far from Kathleen's family “farm,” she shares that her mom is usually armed when walking the property, and everyone makes fun of her because she carries a gun to prevent animal attacks and “rape.” While the rape of an 80-year-old most likely isn't a concern in acres of Missouri backwoods, nobody in the Madigan clan ever thought a cannibal would be roaming the area. Stay tuned, Termites…THE OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD DIES AT 127: Kathleen reads an article from the Guinness World Records team, announcing that at the age of 127 the oldest man who ever lived has died. OCEAN DRONE FILMS INTERIOR OF CAT 4 HURRICANE: Kathleen LOVES following extreme weather patterns, and is excited when she reads that a new ocean drone has captured footage from the inside of a major hurricane. The technology behind the Saildrone Explorer SD1045 battles 50-foot waves and 120mph winds, gathering scientific data that will help NOAA scientists improve their forecast models that predict rapid intensification of hurricanes.NAZI CAMP SECRETARY ATTEMPTS TO FLEE TRIAL: Kathleen reads an article about a 96-year-old woman who was scheduled to go on trial for war crimes as a Nazi secretary and fled into hiding. Irmgard Furchner left her home near Hamburg in a taxi a few hours before proceedings were due to start at the state courthouse. Despite her advanced age, the German woman was to be tried in juvenile court because she was under 21 at the time of the alleged crimes. Police detained her hours after her attempted escape, and the court is reviewing whether the flight attempt should be considered in her sentencing. APPLAUDING THE FACEBOOK WHISTLEBLOWER: Kathleen has a renowned hatred for Mark Zuckerberg's lack of accountability in monitoring false narratives and polarizing content on Facebook and applauds the recent actions of whistleblower Frances Haugen, a former data scientist at Facebook, whose Senatorial testimony has led to what may be the most threatening scandal in the company's history. Haugen provided a clear and detailed glimpse inside the notoriously secretive tech giant, stating that Facebook harms children, sows division, and undermines democracy in pursuit of breakneck growth and "astronomical profits." There is currently a decades-old law known as Section 230, which immunizes social media companies from being sued over what their users post, but lawmakers are examining possible carve-outs. WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK: Kathleen recommends watching the “Untold” series on Netflix, especially the episode called “Crimes and Penalties.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

El último de los Nobel de ciencias, el de Química, ha premiado a los descubridores de nuevas herramientas para fabricar moléculas. Benjamin List y David MacMillan han dedicado su carrera a desarrollar nuevos catalizadores, sustancias que permiten "dirigir" las reacciones químicas, de forma que se generen las sustancias que a nosotros nos interesan. Pero no sólo eso: los catalizadores de List y MacMillan están hechos de carbono, oxígeno, nitrógeno o azufre, los elementos que están presentes en todos los seres vivos. Los catalizadores tradicionales suelen incorporar metales, que cumplen muy bien esa función, pero son más caros y más contaminantes. Y todavía tienen una ventaja más: con estos catalizadores orgánicos podemos seleccionar de forma natural si queremos producir una sustancia "hacia la izquierda" o "hacia la derecha". Os explicamos lo que significan estas expresiones con un pequeño experimento para el que sólo necesitaréis... vuestras manos. Si queréis aprender más sobre catálisis y su gran importancia en la química buscad los capítulos s04e23 y s03e34, en los que hablamos con mucho más detalle de qué significa que una molécula pueda "dirigir" una reacción química. te programa se emitió originalmente el 6 de octubre de 2021.

Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing a molecule-building tool that can produce many important compounds in a “greener” way.两位科学家因开发出一种分子构建工具而获得诺贝尔化学奖，该工具可以以“更绿色”的方式生产许多重要的化合物。The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the awards Wednesday for Germany's Benjamin List and Scotland-born David MacMillan. List is with Germany's Max Planck Institute, while MacMillan is a professor at America's Princeton University.瑞典皇家科学院周三宣布了德国的 Benjamin List 和苏格兰出生的 David MacMillan 的奖项。List 在德国的马克斯普朗克研究所工作，而 MacMillan 是美国普林斯顿大学的教授。Work by the two scientists has permitted researchers to more effectively produce molecules for things like medicines and pesticides and with less environmental harm. The academy called the winners' development method “an ingenious tool for building molecules.”两位科学家的工作使研究人员能够更有效地生产用于药物和杀虫剂等物质的分子，并且对环境的危害更小。该学院称获奖者的开发方法是“构建分子的巧妙工具”。The process of making molecules requires the linking of individual atoms together in specific positions. This can be very slow and difficult. For many years, chemists had only two methods -- or catalysts -- to speed up the process. These used either complex enzymes or metal catalysts.制造分子的过程需要将单个原子在特定位置连接在一起。这可能非常缓慢和困难。多年来，化学家只有两种方法——或催化剂——来加速这一过程。这些使用复杂的酶或金属催化剂。That all changed in 2000, when List and MacMillan independently reported that small organic molecules can be used to do the same job.这一切都在 2000 年发生了变化，当时 List 和 MacMillan 独立报告说有机小分子可以用来做同样的工作。The process has made the production of some drugs easier, including an antiviral and an anti-anxiety medication, the academy said. It noted that an estimated 35 percent of the world's total Gross Domestic Product, GDP, “in some way involves chemical catalysis.”该学院表示，该过程使一些药物的生产变得更加容易，包括抗病毒药和抗焦虑药。它指出，估计全球 GDP 总量的 35%“在某种程度上涉及化学催化”。John Lorsch is director of the United States National Institute of General Medical Sciences. He likened the scientists' work to “molecular carpentry.”John Lorsch 是美国国家普通医学科学研究所所长。他将科学家的工作比作“分子木工”。“They've found ways to not only speed up the chemical joining," he said, “but to make sure it only goes in either the right-handed or left-handed direction."“他们找到了不仅可以加速化学结合的方法，”他说，“而且可以确保它只沿右手或左手方向进行。”Johan Åqvist, chair of the Nobel panel, called the new method as “simple as it is ingenious.” “The fact is that many people have wondered why we didn't think of it earlier,” he added.诺贝尔委员会主席 Johan Åqvist 称这种新方法“既简单又巧妙”。“事实上，很多人都想知道为什么我们没有早点想到它，”他补充道。H.N. Cheng is president of the American Chemical Society. He said the two winners had developed “new magic wands.” He added that before their work, the usual molecule building methods often resulted in environmental damage or harm.H.N. Cheng 是美国化学学会的主席。他说这两位获奖者开发了“新的魔杖”。他补充说，在他们工作之前，通常的分子构建方法往往会导致环境破坏或危害。Speaking after the announcement, List said the award came as a "huge surprise.” He said at the beginning he did not know that MacMillan was working on the same subject, and he thought his effort might turn out to be, what he called, a “stupid idea.” But he added: “When I saw it worked, I did feel that this could be something big."在宣布这一消息后，List表示，该奖项是一个“巨大的惊喜”。他说一开始他不知道麦克米伦也在研究同一主题，他认为他的努力可能会变成他所说的“愚蠢的想法”。但他补充说：“当我看到它奏效时，我确实觉得这可能是一件大事。”MacMillan said the start of his catalysis work was "a pretty simple idea that really sparked a lot of different research.”麦克米兰说，他的催化工作的开始是“一个非常简单的想法，确实引发了许多不同的研究。”He added: “The part we're just so proud of is that you don't have to have huge amounts of equipment and huge amounts of money to do fine things in chemistry."他补充说：“我们非常自豪的部分是，您不必拥有大量设备和大量资金就可以在化学领域做出出色的工作。”

Esta semana se han fallado los Premios Nobel, y en Más de Uno organizamos una tertulia especial para comentar las tres categorías de ciencias. En Fisiología o Medicina se ha premiado a David Julius y Ardem Patapoutian por el descubrimiento y caracterización de los receptores de la temperatura y el tacto. Estos receptores son pequeñas máquinas situadas en las membranas de algunas neuronas que permiten que la neurona "sepa" si se la está sometiendo a presión, o cuál es la temperatura exterior. En Física se ha premiado a Syukuro Manabe y Klaus Hasselmann, por sus contribuciones a los modelos del clima que son fundamentales para entender el cambio climático, y a Giorgio Parisi, por desarrollar una técnica para "encontrar el orden" en un sistema desordenado. Finalmente, en Química el premio ha sido para Benjamin List y David MacMillan por desarrollar los primeros catalizadores orgánicos asimétricos. Estas sustancias permiten "guiar" las reacciones químicas hacia las moléculas que más nos interesan, y son capaces de distinguir entre las diversas geometrías que la molécula final puede tener. Para contaros todo esto hemos organizado una tertulia de científicos, con Ignacio Crespo, médico y director de la sección de ciencia del diario La Razón, y Francis Villatoro, físico, matemático y creador del blog La Ciencia de la Mula Francis. Como siempre, además del tema central tenemos también el reto matemático de Santi García Cremades, que esta vez nos habla de la Conjetura de Goldbach: el hecho de que todo número par (mayor que 2) parece poder escribirse como la suma de dos números primos. Santi nos anima a comprobar la conjetura con tres ejemplos entre el 3 y el 100. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 7 de octubre de 2021.

Stephan Karkowsky sprach mit Chemie-Nobelpreisträger Prof. Dr. Benjamin List. Aßerdem ging es in den Ptrofis um erneuerbare Energien, Bakterien in der Wäsche, dem Fliegenpilz und Tote auf dem Mars.

Nobelpreis! Schon das Wort alleine flößt gehörigen Respekt ein, gilt dieser Preis doch als höchste denkbare Anerkennung für eine Person, die etwas Bedeutendes für die Welt geleistet hat. In dieser Woche sind die Entscheidungen wieder verkündet worden, von der Königlich-Schwedischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Dabei scheint auf den ersten Blick keine wirkliche Logik erkennbar zu sein: Oft kommt der Nobelpreis sehr, sehr spät - wie jetzt beim Physik-Nobelpreisträger Klaus Hasselmann für seine gut 25 Jahre alten Erkenntnisse in der Klimaforschung. Manchmal kommt er viel zu früh - wie der Friedens-Nobelpreis für Barack Obama, der 2009 noch nicht wirklich etwas zum Weltfrieden beitragen konnte. Wir fragen nach dem tieferen Sinn und Zweck von Nobelpreisen und zeigen, ob - und wenn ja, wie - so eine Ehrung das Leben einer Person verändert.

Luis Aguilar, secretario académico de la Facultad de ciencias químicas, habla sobre el ganador del Premio Nobel de química 2021, explica en qué consiste la investigación realizada por los ganadores de este año: Benjamin List y David MacMillan, quienes descubren y desarrollan toda una línea de investigación sobre corte catalítico. De igual manera define lo que es la catálisis y cómo se llega a la organocatálisis asimétrica, razón exacta por la que son acreedores a dicho premio.

Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con el profesor de Relaciones Internacionales en la Universidad de La Salle, César Niño, sobre la posibilidad de que China tenga capacidad en el 2025 para invadir Taiwán: “Estaríamos hablando de un conflicto regional con alcance global… Taiwán podría convertirse en el episodio mediante el cual podríamos tener ese gran pulso entre ambas potencias”, dijo, y comentó: “Si se toca a Taiwán, seguramente EE.UU también entre en la partida. La pregunta sería cuál será la respuesta de Joe Biden”. Diana Seminario, analista político y periodista peruana, nos habló sobre la renuncia de Guido Bellido, primer ministro peruano: “En los últimos días, Bellido y Castillo tuvieron constantes discrepancias públicas, y Bellido responde directamente a Vladimir Cerrón”, señaló, y destacó: “Aunque este cambio es bueno, no podemos decir que es para mejor, porque anoche tomó juramento Mirtha Vásquez, quien también está a favor de la nueva constituyente y de ir a un referéndum”. Desde Caracas nos atendió Andrea Santacruz, abogada y directora ejecutiva del Centro de Derechos Humanos de la Universidad Metropolitana, para hablarnos sobre la denuncia de los diputados federales de Brasil ante la CPI en contra de Nicolás Maduro: “Los diputados sienten una profunda preocupación por la situación de los migrantes venezolanos”, dijo, y explicó que la denuncia se debe a que “Estos migrantes no son reconocidos como personas por algunos miembros de comunidades cercanas, no reciben asistencia jurídica o médica, no tienen alimentación constante y no tienen posibilidades de trabajar legalmente”. Roberto Rodríguez, vocero del Departamento de elecciones del condado de Miami Dade, nos habló sobre las elecciones del 2 de noviembre: “Serán seis elecciones el mismo día, con lo que estaríamos hablando de casi un tercio de la población que va a salir a votar”, dijo, y señaló “En las diferentes municipalidades van a estar eligiendo también a comisionados que van a segunda vuelta, así como alcaldes que van a segunda vuelta”. Con el químico físico, escritor y comunicador científico español, Guillermo Orts-Gil, conversamos sobre los aportes de los ganadores del Premio Nobel de Química 2021: “Benjamin List y David W. C. MacMillan dos personas que han ayudado a las moléculas a bailar… Ellos lograron crear un celestino que ayuda a las moléculas a balar mejor para conseguir muchos medicamentos”, explicó. Y para cerrar, el periodista deportivo venezolano, Daniel Chapela, nos habló sobre las denuncias contra el entrenador Kenneth Zseremeta: “En la medida en que estas denuncias contra Zseremeta se divulgaron, comenzaron a aparecer testimonios de otras muchachas que estuvieron bajo su mando. No específicamente de abuso sexual, pero sí de maltrato psicológico”, dijo, por lo que “El caso se podría llevar a la FIFA para que le suspendan su licencia y así le impidan seguir trabajando”.

Der Deutsche Benjamin List und der gebürtige Brite David MacMillan bekommen den Chemienobelpreis 2021 für die Entwicklung der asymmetrischen Organokatalyse. Damit lassen sich Moleküle künstlich herstellen – einfacher und umweltfreundlicher als zuvor. Genutzt wird das unter anderem bei der Entwicklung von Medikamenten. Jochen Steiner im Gespräch mit dem Wissenschaftsjournalisten Hellmuth Nordwig.

Nobelovy ceny za chemii letos získala dvojice vědců David MacMillan ze Skotska a Němec Benjamin List, a to za asymetrickou organokatalýzu. Organokatalyzátory jsou velmi důležité při vývoji léků. Ze tří existujících způsobů, jak vyrábět léky, jsou právě ony tou nejvýhodnější. Léky jsou účinnější, mají méně vedlejších účinků a jejich výroba je levnější. Proč, na to se Věda Plus zeptá profesora Petra Kočovského, který celý princip přiblíží.

Before Roe v. Wade, women were crossing into Mexico for abortions. Professor Lina-Maria Murillo talks about transnational networks that have long helped pregnant people navigate treatment options outside the U.S. And, two scientists who developed a groundbreaking technique for forging molecules in a lab have won this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry. Benjamin List of the Max Planck Institute in Germany joins us to discuss his work.

“We thought it had a very low probability of success” – The best ideas in science are often the ones with the least chance of succeeding, says David MacMillan: “It's the stuff that should never work which is where all the good stuff is!” As he tells Adam Smith in this conversation recorded on the morning of the announcement, the thrill of discovery is also open to any undergraduate embarking in organic chemistry: “the very first day they build a molecule, it has never been made in the universe before!” And as for the news of his Nobel Prize: he describes how he initially thought it was a prank, bet his co-Laureate, Benjamin List, $1000 that it wasn't true, and went back to bed!From October 4-11, don't miss our mini-season that will showcase the absolute freshest interviews with the new 2021 Nobel Prize laureates.

“Making molecules is like creating something beautiful” – Benjamin List was sitting in a café with his wife, Dr Sabine List, when the call from Stockholm came. “We looked at each other in disbelief,” he says, and jokingly asked, “Is this the call?” To his amazement, it was! In this interview with Adam Smith, recorded outside that café, he reflects on the beauty of building molecules, the importance of freedom in research and the joy of working with his team: “To work with these amazing, happy and creative people; it's such a gift.”From October 4-11, don't miss our mini-season that will showcase the absolute freshest interviews with the new 2021 Nobel Prize laureates.

En la edición de hoy de Sumario de tarde, el resumen de actualidad de The Objective: el Constitucional avala la prisión permanente revisable, la pobreza severa se agudiza en España, el Gobierno lanza un bono cultural para los jóvenes, y el Nobel de Química para Benjamin List y David MacMillan.

Auch der Nobelpreis für Chemie geht in diesem Jahr an einen Deutschen: Benjamin List wird zusammen mit dem US-Forscher David MacMillan ausgezeichnet für die Entwicklung von Methoden, die chemische Reaktionen beschleunigen. Professor Mathias Christmann, von der FU Berlin findet die Entscheidung "absolut gerechtfertigt".

David W.C. MacMillan y Benjamin List ganaron el Nobel de Química 2021

The 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded jointly to Benjamin List and David MacMillan for their development of asymmetric organocatalysis.

Was ist eine perfekte chemische Reaktion? Hilft antiautoritäre Erziehung bei Sprunginnovationen? Und warum ist Chemie die wichtigste Technologie überhaupt? Unser Host Thomas Ramge fragt: Benjamin List, Direktor am Max-Planck-Institut für Kohleforschung in Mühlheim an der Ruhr.
