The Nobel Prize in Physics 2008 Why is there something instead of nothing? Why are there so many different elementary particles? This year’s Nobel Laureates in Physics have presented theoretical insights that give us a deeper understanding of what happens far inside the tiniest building blocks of matter. Unravelling the hidden symmetries of nature Nature’s…

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2009 The 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics honors three scientists, who have had important roles in shaping modern information technology, with one half to Charles Kuen Kao and with Willard Sterling Boyle and George Elwood Smith sharing the other half. Kao’s discoveries have paved the way for optical fiber technology,…

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 A thin flake of ordinary carbon, just one atom thick, lies behind this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov have shown that carbon in such a flat form has exceptional properties that originate from the remarkable world of quantum physics. – the perfect atomic lattice…

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2006 The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2006 is awarded to John C. Mather and George F. Smoot for their discovery of the basic form of the cosmic microwave background radiation as well as its small variations in different directions. The very detailed observations that the Laureates have carried out…

English The Nobel Prize in Physics 2002 This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is concerned with the discoveries and detection of cosmic particles and radiation, from which two new fields of research have emerged, neutrino astronomy and X-ray astronomy. The Prize is awarded with one half jointly to: Raymond Davis Jr, Department of Physics and…

Swedish Populärvetenskaplig information 8 oktober 2002 Årets Nobelpris i fysik handlar om upptäckter och detektion av partiklar och strålning från kosmos, som lett till framväxandet av två nya forskningsfält, neutrinoastronomin och röntgenastronomin. Priset utdelas med ena hälften till Raymond Davis Jr, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA och Masatoshi Koshiba, International…

English The Nobel Prize in Physics 2004 The discovery which is awarded this year’s Nobel Prize is of decisive importance for our understanding of how the theory of one of Nature’s fundamental forces works, the force that ties together the smallest pieces of matter – the quarks. David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek have…

Swedish Populärvetenskaplig information 5 oktober 2004 Upptäckten som belönas med årets Nobelpris i fysik är avgörande för teorin om hur en av naturens fundamentala krafter fungerar, den som binder ihop materiens allra minsta kända beståndsdelar, kvarkarna. David Gross, David Politzer och Frank Wilczek har genom sina teoretiska insatser gjort det möjligt att lägga sista pusselbiten…
