It would be great if you could cool the water and immobilise the molecules, though keeping the structure, because when it's frozen, when it's immobilised, you can have it in the electron microscope and the water will not evaporate because… — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image
We see chemistry, how the atoms are arranged in the molecules, how the disease changes the arrangement. Perhaps we will find which drug disentangles the aggregates that make a brain senile. Many of us are interested in such things. — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image
In our group, it was a necessary requirement that one has to be able to collaborate. — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image

We three have never been very good chemists but we are gratified with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Peter Principle says that everyone… — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image
The trouble with vitreous water is that vitrification should be impossible. — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image

Rather big part of my time is to read scientific journals and to discover what others are doing. — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image
I hate personal competition, and so each time in my career I came in a field where it was highly competitive, I gave up. — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image
Chemistry is the science of atoms. Elaborating on Democritus' idea, chemists learn how atoms stick or don't stick together, thus forming molecules. — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image
The world is large, very large. My head is small, quite small. There is no way I can put the world in my head.… — Jacques Dubochet Copy Share Image
