On this time we have been working about Nobel prizes from the age of 1995 to 2014.
I'm going to speak about Gerhard Ertl, about his biography, personal life and interesting things. I have choose this man because of his studies of chemical processes on solid surfaces

Ertl’s research laid the foundation of modern surface chemistry, which has helped explain how fuel cells produce energy without pollution, how catalytic converters clean up car exhausts and even why iron rusts, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.
