0.052 min
Two of the total three Nobel laureates of Croatian descent were chemists. Lavoslav Ružička supplied the American military with artificially produced testosterone, and by discovering synthetic musk, he saved thousands of musk deer. Vladimir Prelog’s contribution was the discovery of the CIP rule, which opened a new field of research in chemistry. This episode will prove to you that chemistry doesn’t have to be boring. On the contrary.
