Hungarian biochemist Kariko & American immunologist Weismann won for research in mRNA, which enabled vaccine development for Covid. This followed decades of struggle.
Scientists Katalin Kariko & Drew Weissman from Hungary and US respectively won the prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries enabling the development of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.
Former Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke, along with Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig, join luminaries such as Paul Krugman and Milton Friedman, previous winners of the prize.
Ernaux, 82, won the prize 'for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory', the award-giving body said.
The three scientists were awarded for discovering reactions that let molecular building blocks snap together to efficiently create new desired compounds.
The trio conducted experiments in quantum entanglement, with the award-giving body stating they have enabled fundamental research and potentially cleared the way for new technology.
Scientists have been awarded for their "experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science" said the award-giving body.
Paabo is credited with transforming study of human origins. His key achievements include sequencing an entire Neanderthal genome to reveal link between extinct people & modern humans.
As devastated farmers begin to come to terms with the fallout, 4 lakh hectares of land under paddy cultivation across state is flooded. Punjab is among the biggest contributors to PDS.
New Delhi: Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi has strongly backed the idea of theaterisation, saying it is inevitable and the need of the hour.
