Get your memorization neurons ready and add
another space at the bottom of your list! The Nobel
prizes in Medicine, Physics and Chemistry have been
announced.
Physiology or Medicine: Gnter Blobel for the discovery that
"proteins have intrinsic signals that govern their
transport and localization in the cell"
Physics:
Gerardus 't Hooft and Martinus J.G.Veltman for elucidating
the quantum structure of electroweak interactions in
physics.
Chemistry: Ahmed H. Zewail for his studies of the transition
states of chemical reactions using femtosecond
spectroscopy.
Once again, I have proven that I'm not psychic. Plus,
