UNN graduate, one of the world’s leading chemists Valery Fokin who now works in the United States could win a Nobel Prize this year — according to the forecast made by Thomson Reuters, which annually publishes a list of potential Nobel prizes, winners.

In opinion of TR experts, Fokin may receive an award for his work on "click chemistry", which allows for a very quick, as if by "click", synthesis of new substances with almost no by-products. Fokin may share this award with his colleagues - American chemists Bari Sharpless and M. Finn.
