Summary: 3 scientists (2 from the united states and one from japan) created a new compound that could create a carbon bond with many different types of natural elements and compounds. Which scientists have been trying to figure out for close to two decades. Now that has been achieved the three scientists have been given noble prizes in chemistry. By using a special  "Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling" it gave scientists a more precise handling on carbon and poly carbon bonds"


reaction: I think that its great that in this new day of science and technology, people can work together to solve the biggest problems without even have to be sitting in the same room together. The reason i want to be an engineer is to overcome odds like this and help make advances just like these persistent scientists.  


impact:  This story is directly about working together no matter where you're from, it shows if you have passion you can get it done. The back bone story about how these men met about 4 years back to solve this problem is pretty amazing. Apart from the accomplishment, the by-product from their achievement will be greatly appreciated in the science world and world of medicine. now medicine can react in the body much faster and possibly made even cheaper.
