2026 Chemical Science Laureate of the Blavatnik Awards in Israel, Sergey N. Semenov, PhD, is a chemist at the Weizmann Institute of Science. He studies how simple chemicals can be designed to create complex, life-like behavior, generating rhythms, patterns, and materials that change shape on their own. By uncovering new ways to “program” matter to organize itself, his research is advancing smarter, adaptive materials and deepening our understanding of how complexity emerges in nature.
