______________


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. 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 Nocera 
won), project for the environment, and research debut for young 
scientists. Nocera will receive his prize in Turin in February.
