Nobel Physics for the invention of disc reading technology

French scientist Albert Fert and German scientist Peter Grunberg won the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics, according to the results published a few minutes ago.

They were honored by the work of inventing the technology to read data on hard disks, resulting in the reduction of hard disks, one of the breakthroughs in modern information technology.

Fert (69 years) and Gruenberg (68 years) while working independently of each other, found a principle called large magnetoistance ( magnetoresistance ), or GMR.

According to the Panel, this technology "could also be considered as one of the first practical applications of the promising field of nanotechnology in the future", used to produce ultra-small devices. .

Last year, two American scientists John C Mather and George F Smoot were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for the early work of the universe, helping scientists better understand stars and celestial bodies. and contributed to supporting the hypothesis of the Big Bang explosion at the beginning of the universe.

History of the Nobel Prize

On November 27, 1895, at the Swedish Club in Paris, in front of witnesses, Engineer and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel - who was named the "king of dynamite" by the world - signed a copy not normalThat happened before he died 378 days.In the will there is a passage:

". My entire assets left after sale should be distributed as follows: The executors must make the capital become securities and set up funds. The profit of the fund is used to make The rewards for those in the past few years have brought the most benefits to humanity.

The amount should be divided into 5 equal parts: a part for people with the most important invention or invention for the physics field;the second part for chemistry;the third part for physiology and medicine;the fourth part for the creators of the most famous literary works;the fifth part for people with meritorious contributions to the cause of uniting peoples, abolishing slavery or reducing military forces and helping to promote peace processes.

The award for physicists and chemists approved by the Swedish Academy of Sciences, the award for physiology and medicine approved by the University of Stockholm in Stockholm, the peace prize granted by a council of 5 people The Norwegian Institute voted for approval.

I especially wish that when considering awards, one should not care about the origin of the person being considered, so that the prize is worthy for those who deserve the most, regardless of whether they are Scandinavian or not . . ".

The Kingdom of Sweden has drafted a Nobel organization regulation to manage the fortune and regulations of Nobel committees.In 1901, the first Nobel Prizes were granted.Nobel committees are elected for a maximum of 12 years, including 5 for each committee.They choose world celebrities.In 1968, the Swedish Bank created the sixth Nobel Prize: the Nobel Prize in economics on the 300th anniversary of the banking industry.Every year, committees vote for the person and work awarded.The decisions of the committees are definitive, unchanging and unclaimed.

At 4:30 pm on December 10 each year, the world is witnessing the prestigious Nobel Prizes awarded to celebrities in Stockholm and in Oslo.Choose the time of 4:30 pm on December 10 because it was the time of A.Nobel's reign (1896, in Rome, Italy);Choose the place to award is Stockholm because that's where A.Nobel was born (on October 21, 1833).And in Oslo (Norway) because from 1815 - the founding year of the Bernadotte dynasty - until 1905, the two countries Sweden and Norway belonged to a kingdom.

With all the fortune (nearly 70 million Swedish kronor at the time) and the will of the Nobel Prize he left, A.Nobel wishes to encourage and develop scientific research to contribute to understanding. of humanity and world peace.
