John Wiley & Sons, Inc., is pleased to learn that The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2014 jointly to Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell and William E. Moerner.

Eric Betzig, of Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Ashburn, VA, USA, Stefan W. Hell of Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, and German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany and William E. Moerner of Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA, were awarded the Nobel Prize “for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy”.

Eric Betzig published with Wiley as early as 1986 with an article in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, more recently he has had articles published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition and contributed to Current Protocols in Cell Biology.

Stefan W. Hell serves on the Editorial Boards of ChemPhysChem, Annalen der Physik, Journal of Biophotonics, and Journal of Microscopy, his latest research appearing in September this year as a cover story in Chemistry – A European Journal.

W. E. Moerner has published with Wiley throughout his career and serves on the Editorial Board of ChemPhysChem and formerly Single Molecules (now ceased). He also co-edited and contributed a chapter to Single-Molecule Optical Detection, Imaging and Spectroscopy (Wiley-VCH, 1997). He served as a guest editor for a special issue of ChemPhysChem on "Superresolution Imaging and Nanophotonics", to which he and Hell contributed.

To celebrate the achievements of all three laureates, Wiley made the above-mentioned special issue and the following selection of content free to access until the end of 2014.

Contributions by Eric Betzig:

• From Angewandte Chemie International Edition: Facile and General Synthesis of Photoactivatable Xanthene Dyes
• From Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences: Scanning Optical Microscopy at λ/10 Resolution Using Near-Field Imaging Methods
• A book chapter on Photoactivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) of Adhesion Complexes from Single-Molecule Optical Detection, Imaging and Spectroscopy

Contributions by Stefan Hell:

• From Angewandte Chemie International Edition: Masked Rhodamine Dyes of Five Principal Colors Revealed by Photolysis of a 2-Diazo-1-Indanone Caging Group: Synthesis, Photophysics, and Light Microscopy Applications
• From ChemPhysChem: Two-Color RESOLFT Nanoscopy with Green and Red Fluorescent Photochromic Proteins
• From ChemPhysChem: Coordinate-Targeted and Coordinate-Stochastic Super-Resolution Microscopy with the Reversibly Switchable Fluorescent Protein Dreiklang

Contributions by William E. Moerner:

• From Angewandte Chemie: Optical Spectroscopy of Single Impurity Molecules in Solids
• FromCurrent Protocols in Cell Biology: Photoactivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) of Adhesion Complexes
