Albert Einstein The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921

Martin Karplus, the Theodore William Richards Professor of Chemistry Emeritus at Harvard, is one of three winners of the 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced this morning.

The 83-year-old Vienna-born theoretical chemist, who is also affiliated with the Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France, is a 1951 graduate of Harvard College and earned his Ph.D. in 1953 at the California Institute of Technology. While there, he worked with two-time Nobel laureate Linus Pauling, whom Karplus described as an important early influence.

He shared the Nobel with researchers Michael Levitt of Stanford University and Arieh Warshel of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Warshel was once a postdoctoral student of Karplus, who had worked with both men during six months in Israel during the 1960s. All three were then at the Weizmann Institute of Science with chemist Shneior Lifson, but have not worked formally together since then.

The Nobel Banquet entrance procession 2013

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2014 was awarded in Oslo City Hall on Wednesday 10 December at 1:00 pm.

A Brilliant Madness is the story of a mathematical genius whose career was cut short by a descent into madness. At the age of 30, John Nash, a stunningly original and famously eccentric MIT mathematician, suddenly began claiming that aliens were communicating with him and that he was a special messenger.

Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Nash spent the next three decades in and out of mental hospitals, all but forgotten. During that time, a proof he had written at the age of 20 became a foundation of modern economic theory. In 1994, as Nash began to show signs of emerging from his delusions, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Economics. The program features interviews with John Nash, his wife Alicia, his friends and colleagues, and experts in game theory and mental illness.

Go beyond the Oscar-winning drama A Beautiful Mind and learn more about the life of troubled mathematician and Nobel Prize-winner John Nash and his struggle with mental illness in this PBS American Experience documentary. Exclusive interviews with Nash and wife Alicia are included.

Where does the money for the Nobel Prizes come from?

At the age of 17, Swedish Alfred Nobel spoke five languages fluently. Nobel became an inventor and businessman, and at the time of his death on 10 December 1896, he had 355 patents worldwide - one of them was the patent on dynamite.

How the Nobel Prize became the most controversial award on Earth

No one can really agree on why the Nobel Prizes are a much bigger deal than all the other prizes out there. Perhaps it's because they've been around for more than a century or because the prize - roughly $1 million - is so large. But at this point, they're definitely one of the most impressive awards around.

The Youngest Nobel Prize Winners

Werner Heisenberg is one of history's physics giants, and he took the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932, at 31, 'for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, inter alia, led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of hydrogen.'

Interview with Dr. John Nash at the 1st Meeting of Laureates in Economic Sciences in Lindau, Germany, September 1-4, 2004. Interviewer is freelance journalist Marika Griehsel. Dr. Nash talks about the impact the Prize had on his life, his talent for mathematics as a child (5:38), the work that gave him the Prize (9:03), gives some advice to young students (13:07), talks about important economic issues of today (15:26), and shares his thoughts about the movie on his life, 'A Beautiful Mind' (21:18).

To find out, the Harvard Gazette sat down with a pair of them.

Adams University Professor Eric Maskin and Oliver Hart, the Andrew E. Furer Professor of Economics, have each been awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel – Maskin in 2007 and Hart just this year.

In a wide-ranging conversation just days after Hart received the prestigious academic award, the two colleagues and friends looked back on their distinguished careers, and discussed everything from the perks that come with joining the cohort of Nobel winners to their childhood ambitions.

Alfred Nobel's invention of dynamite was a terrifying new addition to mankind growing arsenal of destruction. Ironically, it also spawned the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize is the most controversial of the five Nobel Prizes—Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace and Physiology. Not only is this the most coveted; it is also the most significant out of all other awards since this award is awarded to individuals who have done the best work for the fraternity of nations, as well as for the eradication of groups and armies that encumber the massive promotion of peace among people of all nations. Ever since Alfred Nobel chose peace as a category for the Noble Prize, it has been subject to several controversies. He/she-should-have-won claims have been pervasive, and debates as to who is more deserving to win have been ongoing year after year. So, according to popular opinion, here is a list of the 25 people who should have won the Noble Peace Prize but didn't.

This year's Nobel Laureates in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Economics speak in the same building in Stockholm where they have received their awards. The Laureates talk about the discoveries for which they've been honored, how they can be applied in a practical way, and how they reached this summit of academic achievement.

The Nobel Lecture in Literature this year is replaced by a pre-recorded video conversation with Alice Munro, Nobel Laureate in Literature. The event is held at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm.

Following the announcement, Tore Ellingsen, Permanent Secretary, RSAS, was interviewed by freelance journalist Henrik Höjer about the 2014 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

Presented by Ron Garret.

ABSTRACT

Richard Feynman once famously quipped that no one understands quantum mechanics, and popular accounts continue to promulgate the view that QM is an intractable mystery (probably because that helps to sell books). QM is certainly unintuitive, but the idea that no one understands it is far from the truth. In fact, QM is no more difficult to understand than relativity. The problem is that the vast majority of popular accounts of QM are simply flat-out wrong. They are based on the so-called Copenhagen interpretation of QM, which has been thoroughly discredited for decades. It turns out that if Copenhagen were true then it would be possible to communicate faster than light, and hence send signals backwards in time. This talk describes an alternative interpretation based on quantum information theory (QIT) which is consistent with current scientific knowledge. It turns out that there is a simple intuition that makes almost all quantum mysteries simply evaporate, and replaces them with an easily understood (albeit strange) insight: measurement and entanglement are the same physical phenomenon, and you don't really exist.
