______________

Professor Daniel G. Nocera won a 2004 Italgas Prize worth 80,000 
Euros ($100,000) for his work on
science and the environment. Nocera, the W. M. Keck Professor of 
Energy in the Department of Chemistry,
was cited for his work "on molecular chemistry for the production of 
renewable energy," according to Italgas,
which instituted the prize in 1987. Dan Nocera's research resulted in 
development of the first photocatalytic
cycle for the production of hydrogen. The Italgas Prize has three 
sections: science and the environment (which
Dan Nocera won), project for the environment, and research debut for 
young scientists. Nocera received his
prize  in Turin in February.
