Ask a Nobel Laureate

Welcome to our regular interactive feature offering you the unique chance to pose questions directly to a Nobel Laureate. Ask a Nobel Laureate gets recipients of the prestigious Nobel Prize to respond to the questions you want to ask – whether you want to learn more about their area of research, get their thoughts on important scientific issues, or find out first-hand what it takes to receive a Nobel Prize.

Our current Ask a Nobel Laureate, featuring Sir Harry Kroto, 1996 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, is now live through September 4, 2010!
