2016 Nobel Laureate Stamps are Worth a Visit to e-Bay

Ken Leung, Fraser’s host from the Baptist University during his recent visit to Hong Kong and keen philatelist, unearthed stamps from across the globe featuring 2016 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry amongst others linked to Peace, Literature, Physics and Physiology & Medicine. The stamps, which come from the Solomon Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger and Sierra Leone, feature artistic renditions of graphical representation of molecular structures relating to the nanoscale machinery popularized by Ben Feringa and Jean-Pierre Sauvage, as well as by Fraser.  This revelation sparked interest from collectors and scientists alike, all looking to own a commemorative piece of history.
