These copper balls represent Barry Sharpless’s passion for chemistry. The element copper is particularly dear to him. The pure metal has a beautiful colour and sheen, and copper ions have a fantastic ability to drive chemical reactions. This characteristic of being a catalyst plays an important part in his research on how molecules can be joined effectively.
Barry Sharpless donated the copper balls to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2022. - Location
