Analysis

The winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize awarded by the Central Bank of Sweden are three American economists working on the impact of social organization on the wealth of nations.

The first Nobel Prize in computer science!

Analysis

On Tuesday, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the Nobel Prize in Physics goes to American physicist John Joseph Hopfield and Canadian-British computer scientist Geoffrey Everest Hinton.

Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology 2024

Analysis

When it seemed that all functions of ribonucleic acids (RNA) had been studied and described, scientists discovered new types of RNA at the end of the 20th century that influence inheritance, development, and diseases. This year, the Nobel Prize was awarded for the discovery of one of these new RNAs. According to the Nobel Committee's decision, two American biologists, Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, received the award in Physiology and Medicine for their "discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation".

It may seem incongruous that on a planet where water covers 72% of its surface people should be dying from its shortage. The primary reason for that is that 97% of Earth's water is sea and ocean water that has a significant degree of salinity and is unfit for direct human consumption.
