Nobel prize 2022

Stanford professor Carolyn Bertozzi pauses during a phone call shortly after learning she was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022, in Palo Alto, Calif. Three scientists were jointly awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for developing a way of “snapping molecules together” that can be used to design better medicines, including ones that target diseases such as cancer more precisely. Americans Bertozzi and K. Barry Sharpless, and Danish scientist Morten Meldal were cited for their work on click chemistry and bioorthogonal reactions, which are used to make cancer drugs, map DNA and create materials that are tailored to a specific purpose.

This year’s Pääbo, a Swedish geneticist and a director at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, was honored for his groundbreaking research on sequencing the genome of the Homo sapiens—interbred with these species after migrating out of Africa. His work addresses important questions about humanity’s origins, including where we came from, why some species went extinctand what makes us uniquely human. “Svante’s work is the definition of pioneering,” says Katerina Harvati-Papatheodorou, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany. “It has pushed boundary after boundary over the last couple of decades, achieving what was previously considered impossible: not only recovering ancient DNA from fossil bones, but also sequencing entire genomes of our extinct relatives and even retrieving their DNA from the ancient sediments of the caves in which they lived.” Harvati-Papatheodorou says this Nobel “underscores the important implication that evolution and ancient processes have on people today.” And overall, she is “happy that the field of human origins research is receiving this amazing distinction and honor.” Homo sapiens arose in Africa about 300,000 years ago, research suggests. Homo sapiens left Africa around 70,000 years ago, and spread throughout the world. They co-existed with Neandertals in Eurasia for tens of thousands of years, but little was known about the relationship between the two groups. The Nobel Assembly has ...

Nobel Prize-winning writer Ernaux won the Nobel Prize in Literature in October 2022 for her work charting the lives of women in France from the 1960s onwards, including abortion drama Happening, which formed the basis for Audrey Diwan’s 2021 Venice Golden Lion winner of the same name. She is among a group of 68 French feminists and cultural figures to have signed the online letter in an initiative coinciding with the first anniversary of the actress’s defeat last June in a highly-mediatized defamation trial brought by ex-husband Johnny Depp. Related Story Amber Heard To Launch New Film 'In The Fire' As Part Of Strong Lineup At Taormina Film Festival Further signatories included actresses Ariane Labed ( Flux Gourmet, The Souvenir) and Zita Hanrot ( Angry Annie, The Hookup Plan) as well as actress-director Aïssa Maïga (Above Water, The Girl Who Harnessed The Wind, Cherchez La Femme), screenwriter Caroline Deruas Peano( The Plough) and cinematographer Balthazar Lab (The Pack). They were also joined by prominent French economist and Green Party politician Sandrine Rousseau, disinformation specialist Stéphanie Lamy and French-American feminist writer and journalist Iris Brey as well as a number of psychologists and sociologists including gender-focused specialist Andreea Gruev-Vintila.

The scientists will each share one-third of the 10 million Swedish kronor (approximately $900,000) prize. “I can hardly breathe,” Bertozzi said during the press conference. “I’m still not entirely positive that it’s real, but it’s getting realer by the minute.” Sharpless and Meldal independently developed the first click reaction about 20 years ago. The copper-catalyzed reaction between an azide and an alkyne produces a highly stable triazole as the single product. “It's still the crown jewel of click reactions,” said Nobel committee member Olof Ramström at the press conference....

The physicists Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that proved the profoundly strange quantum nature of reality. Their experiments collectively established the existence of a bizarre quantum phenomenon known as entanglement, where two widely separated particles appear to share information despite having no conceivable way of communicating. Entanglement lay at the heart of a fiery clash in the 1930s between physics titans Albert Einstein on the one hand and Niels Bohr and Erwin Schrödinger on the other about how the universe operates at a fundamental level. Einstein believed all aspects of reality should have a concrete and fully knowable existence. All objects — from the moon to a photon of light — should have precisely defined properties that can be discovered through measurement. Bohr, Schrödinger and other proponents of the nascent quantum mechanics, however, were finding that reality appeared to be fundamentally uncertain; a particle does not possess certain properties until the moment of measurement. Entanglement emerged as a decisive way to distinguish between these two possible versions of reality. The physicist John Bell “I would not call entanglement ‘one,’ but rather ‘the’ trait of quantum mechanics,” Thors Hans Hansson, a member of the Nobel committee, quoted Schrödinger as writing in 1935. He observed, “The experiments performed by Clauser and Aspect opened the eyes of the physics community to ...

Photograph: Tt News Agency/Reuters The 2022 Nobel prize in physics has been won by three researchers for their work on quantum mechanics. Alain Aspect, 75, John F Clauser, 79, and Anton Zeilinger, 77, have won the 10m Swedish kronor (£802,000) prize announced on Tuesday by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. All three will receive an equal share of the prize. According to the official citation for the award, the prize was given “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”. The trio’s work has focused on a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement, which was dubbed “spooky action at a distance” by Albert Einstein. The research is expected to play an important role in quantum computing, secure information transfer, and sensing technologies. Quantum entanglement, in a nutshell, means that the properties of one particle can be deduced by examining the properties of a second particle – even if they are separated by a large distance. As the academy pointed out, an easy way to imagine this is to think about being given one of two balls – one of which is white and the other black. If ...

Clauser, Alain Aspect, and Anton Zeilinger won the 10 million Swedish krona ($915,000) prize for "experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which is responsible for selecting the Nobel laureates in physics, announced Tuesday (Oct. 4). The trio's work focuses on quantum entanglement, a process in which two or more quantum particles are coupled so that any change in one particle will lead to a simultaneous change in the other, even if they are separated by vast, even infinite, distances. This effect gives quantum computers the ability to perform multiple calculations simultaneously, exponentially boosting their processing power over those of conventional devices.

At the Among the participants there will also be former presidents, such as Lech Walęsa (Poland), Juan Manuel Santos (Colombia), and Oscar Arias Sánchez (Costa Rica). “The Holy Father encouraged the Fratelli Tutti Foundation to move forward in organizing the event that will bring together people from all over the world to promote the culture of fraternity, dialogue, and peace,” said the organizers in a statement released on June 7, the day on which Pope Francis was operated. “The Holy Father will be supported by the affection and prayers of the Meeting participants, who will gather in St. Peter’s Square on Saturday afternoon.” The In addition to the Nobel Prize winners, artists, important figures from the fields of science and culture, environmental activists, homeless people, migrants, schoolchildren and many young people – including young Russians and Ukrainians – will take part in workshops reflecting on fraternity. In the afternoon, young people will form a circle in the square, holding hands in a symbolic act of peace. During this day, St. Peter’s Square will be twinned with other squares around the world where similar events will take place: Jerusalem (Israel), Nagasaki (Japan), Bangui (Central African Republic), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Brazzaville (Congo), Lima (Peru). Planned as a celebration, the event will continue into the evening with a number of Italian artists, including tenor Andrea Bocelli. The event is financed by the Italian comp...
