The Royal Swedish Academy Names the 2026 Chemistry Laureates

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announces the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry from its Session Hall at Frescati in Stockholm, a day after the physics prize.

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry is announced on Wednesday, 7 October, "11:45 CEST at the earliest", by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences^[2][3]
The venue is the Academy's Session Hall, Lilla Frescativagen 4A, Stockholm^[3]
It is the third of six 2026 announcements, which "will take place on 5-12 October", the day after the physics prize on Tuesday 6 October and before literature on Thursday 8 October^[2][3]
Like every announcement except the peace prize, the time carries the hedge "at the earliest"^[2][3]
All prize announcements "will be broadcast live on the official digital channels of the Nobel Prize", with a YouTube live stream listed for each^[2][3]
The Nobel Prize YouTube channel's live stream page for this announcement, "Announcement of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry", was published 2026-09-14T09:43:10Z and says only "The Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be announced at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden"; it names no laureates and gives no announcement date^[1]
A press invitation is listed for the chemistry announcement, and "Media wishing to attend the announcements should apply to the respective prize-awarding institution in the early fall"^[3]
The announcement follows a year-long process: nominations open in September, close at "midnight on 31 January", are considered February to September by a Nobel committee of 5 to 10 members, and the prize-awarding institutions "take a final vote to select their newest laureates" in October^[2]
The laureates receive their medals, prize money and diplomas on Nobel Day, 10 December, in Stockholm and Oslo^[2]
The schedule was set out in a Nobel Foundation press release dated 2 February 2026; the nobelprize.org announcement-dates page carries no publication or last-updated date^[2][3]

Mendeleev Presents the Periodic Table

Starts 03/06/1869CONFIRMED 85% CONFIDENCE157.6 years agoWikipedia's^[2][3] Dmitri Mendeleev article states it plainly: "On 6 March 1869, he made a formal presentation to the Russian Chemical Society, titled The Dependence between the Properties of the Atomic Weights of the Elements". Russia was still on the Julian calendar, so contemporary Russian sources date the work to February; the manuscript sheet on Commons is signed 17.02.1869, the Julian date for 1 March, and the pin uses the Gregorian date Wikipedia gives for the presentation itself.
Dmitri Mendeleev's paper The Dependence between the Properties of the Atomic Weights of the Elements is read to the Russian Chemical Society in St Petersburg, arranging the known elements by atomic weight and valence and leaving gaps for elements not yet found.
