چکیده
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to ALBERT FERT and PETER GRÜNBERG for their discovery of Giant Magnetoresistance. Applications of this phenomenon have revolutionized techniques for retrieving data from hard disks. The discovery also plays a major role in various magnetic sensors as well as for the development of a new generation of electronics. The use of Giant Magnetoresistance can be regarded as one of the first major applications of nanotechnology.

The 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics: magnetism and transport at the nanoscale.
The 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Peter Grünberg and Albert Fert for the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR). GMR is a phenomenon that is intimately linked to the nanostructuring of magnetic materials and has had broad scientific and economic impact. Here, we summarize the early scientific studies of magnetic thin films and superlattices that enabled the discovery of GMR, an...
متن کاملLet there be light--with gallium nitride: the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Significant gains in energy savings now underway can be traced to a single invention--the blue light-emitting diode. GaN-based blue LED technology not only resulted in efficient white light sources, but continues to enable a host of applications and scientific inquiries. The researchers primarily responsible for the development of the blue LED were awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics.
متن کاملThe General Impossibility of the New Institutional Economics: Or Does Bertrand Russell Deserve a Nobel Prize
In 1950, Bertrand Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He might more appropriately have been honoured with the Prize for Peace, given his ardent commitment to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Yet, intellectually, his greatest contribution has been in philosophy for which there is no Nobel Prize. In particular, he is remembered for his paradoxes and their implications for the...
متن کاملYear's comments for 2007.
When commenting on the year’s achievements and news in microbiology, we often refer to the Nobel Prizes, which are the most prestigious science awards worldwide. In 2008, microbiology was the subject of two of the Prizes. Harald zur Hausen, from the German Cancer Research Centre (Heidelberg, Germany), was awarded half of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for his discovery of human papi...
