Caltech gets new theoretical chemistry centre that honours Nobel laureate

Caltech will have a brand-new theoretical chemistry centre named after chemistry Nobel laureate Rudy Marcus, who just turned 101 years old, thanks to a $30 million (£23.3 million) gift from a husband and wife team who were postdocs at the university. A Canadian-born American chemist, Marcus won the 1992 chemistry Nobel prize for his contributions to the theory of electron transfer reactions in chemical systems.
