#nobelprizeFirst Reactions | John Jumper, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 | Telephone interviewNobel Prize2024-10-17 | “It’s absolutely extraordinary.” John Jumper had just heard the news of his 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry when he spoke to the Nobel Prize’s Adam Smith. “I thought I had a 10 % chance,” he reveals. To save his nerves, his plan had been to sleep in until after the announcement, which didn’t quite work out. In the interview, he talks about being the youngest chemistry laureate in over 70 years, and about AI’s role in science. “What I love about all this is that we can draw a straight line from what we do to people being healthy.”

You’ve won the Nobel Prize.” That’s how James Robinson discovered he was a 2024 economic sciences laureate, as his wife, Maria Angélica Bautista, woke him up. In this brief call with the Nobel Prize’s Adam Smith he talks about the root causes of poverty and how to build the types of political structures that enhance prosperity: “Inclusive institutions are not created by well-meaning elites. They’re created by people who fight for their rights.”

#NobelPrizeHiroshi Amano, Nobel Prize in Physics 2014: Nobel LectureNobel Prize2024-09-06 | Lighting plays a major role in our quality of life. The development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has made more efficient light sources possible. Creating white light that can be used for lighting requires a combination of red, green, and blue light. Blue LEDs proved to be much more difficult to create than red and green diodes. During the 1980s and 1990s Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura successfully used the difficult-to-handle semiconductor gallium nitride to create effecient blue LEDs.
Hiroshi Amano delivered his Nobel Lecture on 8 December 2014, at Aula Magna, Stockholm University. He was introduced by Professor Per Delsing, Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics.Nobel Peace Conference: Woman Life FreedomNobel Prize2024-09-05 | Join the annual Nobel Peace Conference – celebrating the latest Peace Prize ✊
