Many chemists were pleasantly surprised when molecular machines claimed last year‘s #ChemNobel. Here’s the surprise: Although the work showcased some killer chemistry, it doesn‘t yet have a killer app that some spectators have come to expect of Nobel Prize winners. What’s the next area of chemistry that might earn this distinction, winning for its merits as a chemical discovery and furthering fundamental science?

Carmen‘s Answer
Origin-of-life research Scripps/UCSD
Samples from Stanley Miller‘s 1958 experiment Plus a shout out to the 1989 #ChemNobel, which Tom Cech and Sidney Altman won for discovering the catalytic properties of RNA.

Lauren‘s Answer
Nanomotors ACS Nano
―The applications are clearer [than molecular motors]—folks want to use them to deliver cargo in the body. But we‘re so far from being able to do that. If someone makes it happen in a controllable way, that person or persons could win a prize.‖ -Lauren Wolf
