editions of Science Talk, the podcast of Scientific American. I'm Steve Merski.

This year's prize is about taking the chemical experiment to cyberspace.

Stefan Normark, permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,

at a press conference in Stockholm that took place at 5.45 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time this morning.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

to Professor Martin Carplus at Universite de Strasbourg, France, and Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts,

USA, and Professor Michael Levitt at Stanford University School of Medicine, California, USA,

and Professor Ari Warshall at University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.

And the Academy Citation runs for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems.

Sven Ledin, the chair of this year's Nobel Committee for Chemistry then gave a short summary.

Chemistry is an experimental science.

But today, theoretical chemists are providing answers to questions concerning complex chemical reactions.

Theoretical chemists are working together with experimentalists to help us understand

the complex reactions in photosynthesis, how to design drugs to fit with their target molecules in the

body, and how a catalyst works in your car or in chemical industry.

To model chemical reactions, you can use two completely different sites of physics and chemistry.
