Chemistry was the most important science for Alfred Nobel's own work, as it was the foundation of his inventions and industrial processes. The development of Nobel's inventions, such as dynamite and the Nobel Prize, relied heavily on his chemical knowledge. This volume is a compilation of the Nobel lectures delivered by Nobel laureates, along with their biographies and presentation speeches from 2011 to 2015. Each Nobel lecture is based on the work for which the laureate was awarded the Nobel Prize.

Nobel's interest in chemistry was evident from an early age, as he studied the subject at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. He later founded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1901, with the aim of recognizing outstanding contributions to the field. The first Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff, a Dutch chemist who made significant contributions to the understanding of chemical reactions and thermodynamics.

Since its inception, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to many notable scientists, including Marie Curie, who won the prize twice for her work on radioactivity and chemotherapy. Other notable laureates include Linus Pauling, who won the prize for his work on the structure of DNA, and Paul Berg, who won the prize for his work on the synthesis of proteins.

The Nobel lectures delivered by Nobel laureates are a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration for scientists and researchers around the world. These lectures cover a wide range of topics in chemistry, from fundamental research to applied science and technology. They provide an opportunity for laureates to share their insights and experiences with the public and to inspire future generations of scientists.

In addition to the Nobel lectures, this volume also includes biographies of the Nobel laureates, which provide a deeper understanding of their contributions to the field of chemistry. These biographies highlight the personal and professional lives of the laureates, as well as their achievements and challenges.

Overall, this volume is a valuable resource for anyone interested in chemistry, science, and innovation. It provides a glimpse into the lives and work of some of the most influential scientists of our time and serves as a reminder of the importance of scientific research and discovery.
