Laureates of Nobel Prize in Physics announced

Nobel Prize winners for 2021 were Italian Georgio Parisi, Japanese Sycero Manaba and German Claus Hasselman. Representatives of the Nobel Assembly of the Caroline Institute were announced during online broadcast.

The first specialist will receive an award “For the opening of the relationship of disorder and oscillations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scale.” Two other scientists will replace the premiums “for physical climate modeling of the Earth, a quantitative assessment of variability and reliable prediction of global warming”.

Awarding the laureates is scheduled to be held on December 10th. The corresponding ceremony due to a pandemic caused by COVID-19 coronavirus infection will be held online. In addition to the Nobel medals, the winners of the physics premium will receive 10 million Swedish crowns at all (about 83.4 million rubles at the current course).

Laureats of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for 2021 became David Julius and Arda Pataputyan for the “Opening of Temperature and Touch receptors”.

In 2020, the Nobel Prize in Physics received the British mathematical physicist Roger Penrose, the German American Astrophysicist Reinhard Genzel and the American scientist Andrea Gez for studies of black holes. The first specialist will receive half a prize “for the discovery of the circumstance that the formation of a black hole is a reliable prediction of the general theory of relativity” of the German Physics-theorient of Albert Einstein. Two other scientists became laureates “For the opening of a supermassive compact object in the center of our Galaxy” (it is believed that in the center of the Milky Way there is a giant black hole).

In 2019, the Nobel Prize in Physics received a Canadian-American physicist James Pylons “For a new understanding of the structure and history of the Universe” and Swiss astronomers Michelle Major and Didier Kelo “For the first discovery of exoplanets, rotating around the star of the solar type outside of our solar system “.

The last Russian scientist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize, can be considered physicist-theorist Vitaly Ginzburg from the Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which was awarded it in 2003 for the construction of the phenomenological theory of superconductivity. Together with him the award was received by the Soviet-American scientist Alexey Apricos (died in March 2017) and British-American physicist Anthony Leggett for studying superfluid liquids.

In 2010, graduates of the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute, Andrei Game and Konstantin Novoselov, became the laureates of the Nobel Prize in physics for the study of graphene – two-dimensional carbon modification. At the time of receipt of the award, they worked at the University of Manchester (United Kingdom).
