Three scientists received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024 for their work on proteins: David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper. about this representatives The Nobel committee was announced at a ceremony in Stockholm.
David Baker managed to achieve the almost impossible: create completely new types of proteins. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper developed an artificial intelligence model to solve a problem they have been struggling with for 50 years: predicting complex protein structures.
The winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry were American Mungi Bavendi of French-Tunisian origin, American Louis Bruce and Russian Alexey Ekimov for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. The properties of an element are determined by the number of electrons it has. However, when matter is compressed into nanoscale dimensions, quantum phenomena occur and their properties are determined by the size of the matter. The 2023 Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry have managed to create particles so small that their properties are determined by quantum phenomena.
It was previously known who the winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine were. steel Americans Victor Ambrose and Gary Ravkan for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. And the prize in physics accepted John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their research on machine learning neural networks.
