Predict the owner of the 2012 Nobel Prize

Thomson Reuters has announced the prediction of the traditional Nobel Prize - a list of the most likely candidates to win the Nobel Prize this year.

The forecast of Reuters, which has been completely wrong for years, is still considered a more reliable prediction because in 10 years since its inception, 26 of the predicted people have been awarded.

The predicted list includes fields of Chemistry, Physics, Economics, Physiology and Medicine on the basis of analyzing the most cited works of scientists published on the Scientific journal (according to the Web of Knowledge) as well as an assessment of the importance of their inventions.

The list of Nobel prizes will be announced in early October.

According to Reuters, the Nobel Prize in Physics is most expected to be three scientists Charles Bennett, Gilles Brassard and William Wootters. These three scientists have been actively involved in the development of practical methods in quantum teleportation (quantum teleportation) - moving objects in the microscopic world in quantum states. In last May, thanks to the principle proposed by Bennett, Brassard and Wooters, it was teleported (moving away from) a photon that traveled a distance of 143 kilometers.

Also according to Reuters, some other scientists have a big chance. Among them is Leigh Canham, one of the pioneers in optoelectronics, an expert in porous silicon compounds. We can also mention Danish scientist Stephen Harris and Lene Hau about works that slow down the amount of light in a cloud of super cold sodium atoms.

The most prestigious Nobel Prize in the field of Biology and Medicine is David Allis and Michael Grunstein. In Reuters, they are the ones who have done 'a series of outstanding inventions in the epigenetics' - a science of changing the expression of genes without making variables. change DNA sequencing order.

In Chemistry, Reuters placed a major hope on Japanese scientist Akira Fujishima, Tokyo University for inventing new methods for the application of titanium dioxide.

In economics, Reuters named economist Robert Schiller, who foresaw the collapse of the US real estate market.

The official list of Nobel laureates will be announced by the Nobel Committee, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Sciences from October 8 to October 15.
