Nobelprisvinner fikk Onsagerutmerkelse

I dag ble han overrekt en utmerkelse av rektor Gunnar Bovim i forbindelse med at han holdt årets Onsagerforelesning.

Ved siden av den tradisjonsbundne forelesningen, insisterte Lehn også på å holde en egen populærvitenskapelig forelesning for unge kjemistudenter.

Vi sakser fra pressemeldingen som foranlediget forelesningen:

”The evolution of the universe has generated more and more complex matter through self-organization, up to living and thinking matter. Animate as well as inanimate matter, living organisms as well as materials, are formed of molecules and of the organized entities resulting from the interaction of molecules with each other. Chemistry provides the bridge between the molecules of inanimate matter and the highly complex molecular architectures and systems which make up living organisms. Molecular chemistry has developed a very powerful set of methods for constructing ever more complex molecules.”
