2023 nobel prize winners

Did you know that Nobel Prize Award name was taken from Alfred Nobel’s Surname? Yes, you heard it right! Before we get into the list of Nobel Prizes in Literature, let’s have a quick intro about this Award. The Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded every year by the Swedish Academy to authors for outstanding contributions to the field of literature. Nobel Prize in Literature is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel who died in 1896, awarded for outstanding contributions in Chemistry, Physics, Literature, Peace, & Physiology or Medicine. As dictated by Nobel’s will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by the Swedish Academy. The Award is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. Each recipient receives a Gold Medal, a Diploma bearing Citation, and a Monetary Award Prize that has varied throughout the years.

Changing the world starts with understanding the world, and Luis has helped to advance humanity’s understanding of some of the most formidable problems in all of mathematics. His academic family tree is part of his impact and story, too, as he has mentored dozens of stellar mathematical minds.” Caffarelli, who holds the Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents Chair in Mathematics #1 at UT Austin, has contributed extensively to our understanding of partial differential equations (PDEs) and free boundary problems. PDEs arise naturally as laws of nature, to describe phenomena as diverse as the flow of water, the shape of soap bubbles, the movement of electromagnetic waves and the growth of populations. In an era of s...

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: Three Americans have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for their work on bank runs and protecting the financial system. Ben Bernanke shares the prize with two academic economists, Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig. NPR's Scott Horsley joins us now with the details. Scott, good morning. SCOTT HORSLEY, BYLINE: Good to be with you, Steve. INSKEEP: And so sorry that you did not win the Nobel Prize in economics once again, but your year may come. Anyway, it always seemed fortuitous that Ben Bernanke was the head of the Fed during the financial crisis because of his particular background. HORSLEY: Yeah. His background was really as a historian of the Great Depression. He documented how the collapse of the financial system in the 1930s turned what might have been an ordinary recession into something much worse and longer lasting. Bernanke then put those lessons to work when he was Fed chairman. During the financial crisis, he pioneered many of the emergency lending programs that were used during that crisis and then were dusted off again more recently during the pandemic downturn. Sharing the prize today, Douglas Diamond of the University of Chicago and Philip Dybvig of Washington University in St. Louis. They wrote an influential paper about the role that banks play as financial intermediaries, why it's so painful when they fail and steps that can be taken to prevent that. INSKEEP: So what does their research show? HORSLEY: Well, it shows that banks ...

In an increasingly fractured geopolitical landscape, it is absolutely critical to reinforce the message that science knows no borders and nationalities; we are one community that is solely dedicated to scientific fact finding, understanding the world around us, and bettering the living conditions on our planet. Professor Christopher Barner-Kowollik Professor Christopher Barner-Kowollik is fascinated by light and its interactions with matter. Light enables the key biochemical process that sustains us all: photosynthesis. In the lab, using light to trigger chemical reactions has mostly been based on broadly emitting light sources that emit many colours of light (i.e. wavelengths) at the same time. This has made the triggering process very undefined: like hitting an object with a sledgehammer to shape it. Christopher and his team have transformed photochemistry using defined monochromatic wavelengths to induce chemical transformations. This ‘action plot analysis’ allows us, for the first time, to understand photochemical processes with never-before-seen precision. This precision enables chemists to design reaction systems, including those in the realm of polymer chemistry, that respond selectively to specific wavelengths. It’s now possible, for example, to generate different material properties from a specific 3D printing resin by simply changing the colour of light it is irradiated with. The team hope that their action plot analysis technique will be used by photochemists al...
