Nobel prize awarded for imaging molecules
The 2017 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for improving images made of biological molecules.
Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson will share the nine million kronor (£831,000) prize.
They were named at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
They developed a technique called cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), which simplifies the process for looking at the machinery of life.
