Congratulation!

Prof. Richard N. Zare has been given the China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award 

China honours five foreign scientists from the United States, Denmark, Japan and Canada for their contributions to Sino-foreign research cooperation on the award ceremony of China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award held in Beijing on Jan. 18, 2013.



Among the list are Richard N.Zare (United States), Flemming Besenbacher (Denmark), Lonnie Thompson (United States), Shin-ichi Kurokawa (Japan) and Michael L Phillips (Canada). 
The International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Award of the People's Republic of China is a national science and technology award established by the State Council. It is granted to foreign scientists, engineers, managers, or organizations that have made important contributions to China's bilateral or multilateral scientific and technological cooperation. 

Prof. Richard N. Zare, Honorary Professor of Tsinghua University, Member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science at Stanford University. He is renowned for his research in the area of laser chemistry, resulting in a greater understanding of chemical reactions at the molecular level.
