Three scientists who developed lithium-ion batteries used to power technology from tools and toys to electric cars and smartphones were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday.
The award was announced for American chemist John B. Goodenough, British-American chemist M. Stanley Whittingham and Japanese chemist Akira Yoshino. The Nobel committee highlighted that their work in developing the long-life batteries is contributing to a shift away from the world's reliance on fossil fuels.
"Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized our lives and are used in everything from mobile phones to laptops and electric vehicles," the Nobel committee said."Through their work, this year's Chemistry Laureates have laid the foundation of a wireless, fossil fuel-free society." Goodenough is based at the University of Texas in Austin while Whittingham is a professor at Binghamton University in New York. Yoshino works for chemical company Ashai Kasei Corporation in Japan and is also a professor at Meijo University.Linda Givetash is a reporter based in London.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded to Developers of Lithium-Ion BatteriesThe Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists for their work developing lithium ion batteries that provided access to a technological revolution including mobile phones. I guess Nobel does not care about the environment . Greta and the woke left will be unhappy Well deserved! Goodenough developed his battery at age 57. It blasts away the idea that (false) impression that only young engineers invent interesting things: Congrats. Well deserved recognition for an important contribution to our civilization.
