OREANDA-NEWS The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2024 was awarded to John Hopfield and Jeffrey Hinton for their work in the field of machine learning.
The size of the Nobel Prize in 2024 is 11 million Swedish kronor, up to 10 million ($1.06 million).
Last year, Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krause and Anne L'Huillier won the Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that gave humanity new tools "to explore the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules." Scientists have shown a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure fast processes during which electrons move and change energy.
The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded annually since 1901, with the exception of 1916, 1931, 1934 and 1940-1942. The first prize winner was Wilhelm Roentgen in 1901. A total of 224 people became laureates of the award until 2024 (the number of scientists who receive the award is usually more than one), while John Bardeen was awarded the prize twice — in 1956 and 1972. Only five times have women received the award: Marie Curie in 1903 (together with her husband Pierre Curie and colleague Henri Becquerel), Marie Goeppert-Mayer in 1963 (together with German Hans Jensen and American Eugene Wigner), Donna Strickland in 2018, Andrea Guez in 2020 and Anne L'Huillier in 2023.
Most of the laureates are among scientists from the USA. The last laureate, whom the Swedish Academy of Sciences named as a representative of Russia in the announcement of the award, was Vitaly Ginzburg in 2003. Alexey Abrikosov, a native of Moscow, who shared the award with him, was already introduced as an American. In 2010, two more Russian natives, Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, but both of them were represented by representatives of the British University of Manchester in the announcement of the award.
The Nobel Week in 2024 began on October 7, when the laureates of the prize in medicine were announced. They were Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ravkan, who were awarded for the discovery of microRNA and the definition of its role in genetics.
On Wednesday, October 9, the Nobel Committee will announce the winner of the prize in chemistry, and on October 10 — in literature. On October 11, the Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced. Finally, on October 14, the Bank of Sweden will name the winner of the Alfred Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences (unofficially it is called the Nobel Prize in Economics, although it was established not by Nobel himself, but by the Bank of Sweden in 1969).
