Bernard Feringa, Jean Pierre Sauvage, and Sir James Fraser all won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. 

They all made robots to make the world a better place. 

The Nobel prize was about $1.2 million dollars and they split it evenly amongst themselves. Each one got about $400,000.

Bernard said in his own words, “The opportunities are great."

​The ceremony will take place on Dec. 10 in Stockholm or Oslo.

On Wednesday, Oct 5, a man’s Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phone in Kentucky caught fire all of a sudden.

The device was not plugged in at the time. This is the second incident as a phone caught fire on a plane recently.

Michael Klering of Kentucky said, “You would’ve thought it would be safe.” 

​
This man’s phone was already a replacement phone from Samsung. 
The Samsung Note 7 was already recalled in September. 

Last month, the company assured customers that the fixed devices were safe.
