Who else has won a Nobel Prize this year?
|
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Memorial, a Russian organization; Ales Bialiatski, a jailed Belarusian activist; and the Center for Civil Liberties in Ukraine. All are rights advocates who have become symbols of resistance and accountability at a time when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has set off the largest ground war in Europe since World War II.
The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the French writer Annie Ernaux. Ms. Ernaux’s work, which has been heavily autobiographical, has described her upbringing in a small town in Normandy, an illegal abortion she had the 1960s, her dissatisfaction with domestic life, and a passionate extramarital affair.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Carolyn R. Bertozzi of Stanford University, Morten Meldal of the University of Copenhagen and K. Barry Sharpless of Scripps Research, three scientists whose work harnessed the power of molecular interaction and introduced new ways of studying the natural world.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clauser, of J.F. Clauser and Associates in Walnut Creek, Calif.; Alain Aspect of the Institut d’Optique in Palaiseau, France; and Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna in Austria. The three scientists had explored the foundations of quantum mechanics in their independent works.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Svante Pääbo, a Swedish scientist who peered back into human history by retrieving genetic material from 40,000-year-old bones.
