Swedish Populärvetenskaplig information 9 oktober 2002 Nobelpriset i kemi 2002 delas mellan forskare som vidareutvecklat två viktiga analysmetoder: masspektrometri (MS) och kärnmagnetisk resonans (NMR). Pristagarna John B. Fenn och Koichi Tanaka (båda för MS) samt Kurt Wüthrich (för NMR) har på olika sätt bidragit till att vidareutveckla dessa metoder till att omfatta biologiska makromolekyler. Detta…

English The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2002 The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2002 is being shared between scientists in two important fields: mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The Laureates, John B. Fenn and Koichi Tanaka (for MS) and Kurt Wüthrich (for NMR), have contributed in different ways to the further development…

The Prize in Economic Sciences 2013 There is no way to predict whether the price of stocks and bonds will go up or down over the next few days or weeks. But it is quite possible to foresee the broad course of the prices of these assets over longer time periods, such as, the next…

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2013 Chemical reactions occur at lightning speed; electrons jump between atoms hidden from the prying eyes of scientists. The Nobel Laureates in Chemistry 2013 have made it possible to map the mysterious ways of chemistry by using computers. Detailed knowledge of chemical processes makes it possible to optimize catalysts, drugs…

In 1964, independently of each other, Peter Higgs and François Englert put forward a theory that rescued the Standard Model from collapse. Almost half a century later, they were both in the audience at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, CERN, outside Geneva, when the discovery of a Higgs particle that finally confirmed the theory was announced to the world.

English The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2004 A human cell contains some hundred thousand different proteins. These have numerous important functions: as accelerators of chemical reactions in the form of enzymes, as signal substances in the form of hormones, as important actors in the immune defence and by being responsible for the cell’s form and…

English The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003 All living matter is made up of cells. A single human being has as many as the stars in a galaxy, about one hundred thousand million. The various cells – e.g. muscle cells, kidney cells and nerve cells – act together in an intricate system in each one…

English Information for the Public 11 October 2004 Finn Kydland and Edward Prescott have made fundamental contributions to the research area known as macroeconomics. In a highly innovative way, the Laureates have analyzed the design of economic policy and the driving forces behind business cycles. Their work has not only transformed economic research, but has…

English The 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics The quantum physics that controls the micro-world has a wide range of spectacular effects that do not normally occur in our ordinary macro-world. There are, however, certain situations in which quantum phenomena are visible. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded for work concerning two of these…
