The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said Shechtman's discovery in 1982 fundamentally changed the way chemists look at solid matter. It initially faced strong objections from the scientific community, and even got him kicked out of his research group.
the prize committee is really on the ball

Re: ISU Professor Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry
this year features the rare occurrence that an award is given to someone who is dead. Normally if they award the prize and the person dies before they can accept it, no one gets it- there is no second place. ...they also don't award the prize to a dead person, so I wil have to read up on what's going on with that dude.
