Two Japanese scientists and an US scientist have won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physics for the year 2014. Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano from Japan and Shuji Nakamura from United States were honored with the Nobel Physics Prize 2014 for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes a new energy efficient and environment-friendly light source.
Prof Shuji Nakamura is a professor at the Materials Department of the
College of Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB),
Prof Isamu Akasaki is a professor at Meijo University and distinguished
professor at Nagoya University and Prof. Hiroshi Amano is also a
professor at Nagoya University.
The
awarding committee said the trio's work is in keeping with the spirit
of Alfred Nobel, the founder of the prize, because LED lights save on
energy, last long and are environmentally-friendly because they don't
contain mercury. For 30 years, these scientists had tried to create the
blue diode. Last year’s Noble Physics award went to Britain’s Peter
Higgs and Belgian colleague Francois Englert for helping to explain how
matter formed after the Big Bang (Check details from here). The Nobel prizes in Medicine 2014 was already announced (check details here).
The Nobel Prizes 2014 for chemistry, literature and economic sciences
will be announced later this week, as will the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Prize in Economic Science for the year 2014 was announced today. A French Economist was honored with this award this year. Jean Tirole, whose theories about the behavior of large companies underpin modern antitrust regulation, won this year’s Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
This French professor of economics works on industrial organization,
game theory, banking and finance, and economics and psychology. He is
the chairman of the board of the Jean-Jacques Laffont Foundation at the Toulouse School of Economics, scientific director of the Industrial Economics Institute (IDEI) in Toulouse and founding member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST). He said he was very grateful for the award for his work on “taming powerful firms”.
It
was the first time in more than 30 years that the prize has been given
for the study of regulation, a topic that has moved well beyond academia
since the financial crisis.
At the core of Mr. Tirole’s work are models, often densely mathematical,
that describe monopolies, oligopolies and markets. But he has also
ranged widely across industries, among them payment cards and
telecommunications, to produce studies of their particular function and
dysfunction. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that Mr. Tirole,
61, had helped governments tame firms by analyzing when and how
regulators should intervene to constrain activities, and when to stand
back.
Three American scientists Eugene F. Fama (University of Chicago, IL, USA), Lars Peter Hansen (University of Chicago, IL, USA) and Robert J. Shiller (Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA) won this award for the year2013
for research that has improved the forecasting of asset prices in the
long term and helped the emergence of index funds in stock markets, the
award-giving body said. According to the committee, the economists'
research "laid the foundation for the current understanding of asset
prices."
