From the NETHERLANDS to cryptocurrency: who and what will give the Nobel prize-2017
Who of the Russian and world scientists can receive the Nobel prize this year? Is there a chance that the award will be awarded to the woman? What about the bonus for gravitational waves or the birth of the Universe, the blockchain or price bubbles, positron emission tomography, or Kaposi’s sarcoma, catalysts or new chemical elements? Indicator.Ru understand together with experts.
Nobel week is coming — 2 October we will know the winner (or winners) of the prize in physiology and medicine, the next day will be known the choice of the Nobel Committee in the category of physics, and on October 4, announce chemist (or chemists) who will receive this prestigious award. The prize in Economics is in this list apart: she is known to be “fake”, Alfred Nobel did not mention her in his will (details of which we have already told). It established the Bank of Sweden in 1969. However, it is also dedicated to this inventor and “the people” referred to as the “Nobel prize in Economics”. Will award her this year on October 9.
For the Nobel prize even bet — however, more often the prize for literature and the peace prize, but some betting companies accept bets on all nominations.
“According to surveys bookmaker “Pari-Match”, the lion’s share of players company — provided people with higher education, writes the Rating Bookmakers. — It is not surprising that they are interested in such a category as Nobel prize winners. In 1xbet betting company said that nearly half of customers who bet on the Nobel prize, not interested in sports. They have a lot of bets on the Oscar, Golden globe, Eurovision and other events and prizes, but no sports betting”.
The average rate on the market Nobel prizes of 100 rubles, according to the bookies, and the largest reaches thousand roubles. In BC 1xbet the bets on the winner of the Nobel prize starts from 10-15 rubles and up to several thousand. Now the average rate on the market is 230 rubles.
Physiology and medicine: CRISPR, oncologists and neurointerfaces
Its Nobel predictions known company Clarivate Analytics, not long ago separated from the Thomson Reuters (Russian applicants from its list of scientists with the highest citation indices we have already referred to). Analysts of the company give the names of the four biologists, award-worthy this year.
The first was Lewis Cantle, Professor of cancer biology at Cornell University.
Cently discovered and is studying a protein called PI-3 kinase, responsible for the development of cancer and diabetes. He wants to influence this protein to prevent cancer cells benefits in glucose consumption, which allows them to grow, suppressing healthy cells.
The second option award to Briton Karl Friston for his enormous contribution to the imaging of brain processes, including magnetic resonance imaging.
The third prediction — award yuan Chang and her husband Patrick Moore for the discovery of Kaposi sarcoma virus. The tumor is striking in the skin, as it turned out, causes a type of herpes virus, why Kaposi’s sarcoma is so common among people with AIDS whose immunity can’t fight off the infection.
Alexey paevskiy, science editor Indicator.Ru and the main author of the column “How to get the Nobel prize” called the two most likely candidates for the prize in physiology or medicine or two women — Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier, who came up with CRISPR/Cas9 or someone of the authors of the research microbiome, very advanced forward in the last time. Another proposed variant is the prize for neural interfaces “brain-computer”.
“There is another thing that is not awarded, it is unclear why. In the eighties there are three types of tomography: computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography. The first two have already received his Nobel prize, and PAT yet.”Alex Paevskiy editor Indicator.Ru
Physics: Kip Thorne on the crest of the gravitational wave
Here Clarivate Analytics predicts three possible versions of events.
One of the expected nominees — Russian scientist Rashid Sunyaev, who made a great contribution to the understanding of the physics of black holes, the early Universe and formation of galaxies, studying the microwave radiation, which is considered the heritage of the Big Bang.
The Russian experts the Nobel prize in physics this year, almost does not cause disagreements, although their choice and differs from the predictions Clarivate Analytics. “With the probability of guessing ninety percent say that the prize for physics will get Kip Thorne, one of the ideologists of the search for gravitational waves” — suggests Alexey paevskiy.
“Now the Nobel Committee decided to respond to such big things. Moreover, at the Royal Institute of Sweden attend such conversations. Although, it may be time to give the Nobel prize for the first exoplanets — the Committee will understand who”.Alex Paevskiy editor Indicator.Ru
Chemist and Professor at the state University of new York at stony brook and the SKOLKOVO Institute of science and technology Artem Oganov more confident in your choice:
“A 100% chance that the Nobel prize in physics will give for the discovery of gravitational waves, the other options I even have. At the moment there is nothing more modern and important. The discovery was made by a collaboration LIGO”.Artem Aganovic, a Professor at the state University of new York at stony brook and the SKOLKOVO Institute of science and technology
Leading researcher at Sternberg astronomical Institute Sergey Popov also shares the view about the merits of collaboration LIGO, though said that the decision of the Committee may intervene and politics, and here is to predict something will be difficult.
“Physics is a very large area, and there’s a lot going on, so it is difficult to make a choice, — says Sergey Popov. But if we talk about who deserves, I personally have 15 years forward prize for quantum teleportation — she can get Anton Zeilinger. And there is another affair, for which all of the following: gravitational waves will give of course, it is unclear, whether this year or later. LIGO collaboration of this year recorded for the first time gravitational waves in conjunction with the other Observatory, VIRGO. But whether VIRGO — question, because the decisions on candidates are made at the beginning of the year, and the joint check was recently.”
