Who Will Win the #ChemNobel? Predicting the 2026 Nobel Laureate(s) in Chemistry

Join Laura Howes of Chemical & Engineering News and a panel of special guests as they make their predictions for who will receive this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry and why.

Enjoy a lively discussion about the past prize winners and losers, and which fields of science (and scientists) that our panel believes should be considered for future awards and if Artificial Intelligence may someday win the award.

This ACS Webinar is co-produced with Chemical & Engineering News. ACS has brought chemists together for 150 years, creating communities that transcend generations, borders, and disciplines. Join the society as they recognize the power of collective impact, foster belonging in chemistry, and nurture our connections.
