Three scientists share Nobel Prize in chemistry

Sweden’s Tomas Lindahl, Paul Modrich of the United States and Turkish-American Aziz Sancar have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited the researchers for work on “mechanistic studies of DNA repair.”

This was the third award in the Nobel lineup; the judges have already announced the winners of the medicine and physics awards.

Canadian Arthur McDonald was named Tuesday as a co-winner of the physics award.

McDonald and Japanese scientist Takaaki Kajita were cited for the discovery of neutrino oscillations and their contributions to experiments showing that neutrinos change identities.

The Nobel announcements continue with literature on Thursday, the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday and the economics award on Monday
