The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to chemists who developed the rechargeable batteries that power modern society. Three scientists share the prize: John Goodenough, of the University of Texas at Austin, M. Stanley Whittingham, of the State University of New York at Binghamton, and Akira Yoshino, of Asahi Kasei Corporation in Tokyo and Meijo University in Nagoya, Japan.
The chemists developed lithium-ion batteries, the lightweight, rechargeable batteries that power cell phones, laptops, and electric cars. “This battery has had a dramatic impact on our society,” said Olof Ramström, a chemist at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, during the announcement of the award.
