Gravitational waves, dark matter eyed for Nobel Physics Prize

Gravitational waves, dark matter eyed for Nobel Physics Prize

Kip Thorne (R), and Rainer Weiss, the scientists behind the groundbreaking discoveries of gravitational waves and the existence of dark matter are seen as potential favourites for this year's Nobel Physics Prize Scientists behind the groundbreaking discoveries of gravitational waves and the existence of dark matter are seen as potential favourites for Tuesday's announcement of the Nobel Physics Prize.Gravitational waves are 'ripples' in the fabric of space-time caused by violent processes in the Universe, such as colliding black holes or the collapse of stellar cores.Physicists Ronald Drever of Britain and Kip Thorne and Rainer Weiss of the US first observed them in September 2015, and announced their discovery in February 2016.And since then, they have clinched all the major astrophysics prizes to be had.

The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016Yoshinori Ohsumi Share this:Press Release2016-10-03The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to awardthe 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or MedicinetoYoshinori Ohsumifor his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagySummaryThis year's Nobel Laureate discovered and elucidated mechanisms underlying autophagy, a fundamental process for degrading and recycling cellular components.The word autophagy originates from the Greek words auto-, meaning "self", and phagein, meaning "to eat".Thus,autophagy denotes "self eating".This concept emerged during the 1960's, when researchers first observed that the cell could destroy its own contents by enclosing it in membranes, forming sack-like vesicles that were transported to a recycling compartment, called the lysosome, for degradation.
