Nobel Prize winner says ICT makes information available for everybody

ICT is making information available to everyone. Professor Dan Shechtman, winner of 2011 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, says technology can help overcome barriers to education.

The professor of materials science at Technion Israel Institute of Technology won this year’s Chemistry prize for his discovery of quasicrystals, a discovery described as altering chemists’ understanding of solid matter.

He also says young people’s natural desire for communication should be harnessed as an educational tool.
