For example, finding better treatments for autoimmune diseases, increasing the success rate of organ transplants, and strengthening the body’s own fight against cancer.

physics
On October 7th, Nobel Prize in Physics Three other scientists have won awards for their work on a particle “weirdness” called quantum tunneling. This enables ultra-high sensitivity measurements. By MRI machine And it laid the foundation for better cell phones and faster computers.
The work of John Clark, Michel H. Devore, John M. Martinis and others took the seeming contradictions of the subatomic world, where light can be both waves and particles, and parts of atoms can pass through seemingly impenetrable barriers, and applied them to the more traditional physics of digital devices. The results of their discoveries are just beginning to emerge as cutting-edge technology; supercharged computing.
Clark, 83, conducted research at the University of California, Berkeley. Martinis, 67, University of California, Santa Barbara. Devorette, 72, has also attended Yale University and the University of California, Santa Barbara. Clark spearheaded the project.
chemistry
On October 8th, another scientific trio won. Nobel Prize in Chemistry For the development of new molecular structures that can trap large amounts of gas inside. Experts say this research lays the groundwork for potentially sucking greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere and harvesting moisture from desert environments.
Experts say the research by Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yagi “could help solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges.”
