Nobel Prizes

Figure 3. Pabo's discoveries provided important information regarding the population of the world at the time Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa and spread to the rest of the world. Neanderthals lived in western Eurasia while Denisovans lived in eastern Eurasia. Breeding between the different species occurred when the Homo sapiens spread across the continent, leaving behind treasured remains in DNA.

Spin-glass: the quantum physics behind the discovery that won Frisee the Nobel

  • One response
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded this year to Giorgio LaFerrisi for his scientific contribution in understanding complex systems alongside climate researchers. The prize committee decided to focus on the solution he proposed to the spin-glass problem on the grounds that this model is able to explain many phenomena outside the physics of materials. What is a spin-glass phase and what is Frizi's contribution to the theory?

The climate crisis reaches the Nobel Prize in Physics: two of the developers of the climate models and a researcher of complexity won the Nobel 2021

  • One response
Half of the prize was awarded to Syokuro Manaba from Princeton University and Klaus Hasselman, the Max Planck Institute, who perfected the climate models, and the Italian Giorgio Frisi, who deals with the transition between simple and complex systems * Frisi said at the announcement event: "The understanding of the climate crisis rests on solid science" * The news will be updated with explanations the scientific of the Nobel Prize Committee
