The brightest candidates of the 2013 Nobel

The announcement week of those who are honored to receive the 2013 Nobel Prize will take place from October 7 to 14 in Sweden and Norway. Over the years, Thomson Reuters has made predictions of potential recipients in the natural sciences before members of the awards committee formally named the honoree.

One of the ways analysts at Thomson Reuters ranked bright nominees was to seek in-depth scientists in their pursuits, with research cited by most colleagues and also as people. write highly influential reports for many years. The organization has obtained 27 accurate predictions since the start of its prediction (2002), which guesses hit nine winners in 2011. This year's list includes 28 major researchers. representing 22 research institutions, academics from the US, Japan, England, Israel and Switzerland, in which the overwhelming number belongs to the US.

Notable candidates on Thomson Reuters list are: François Englert and Peter W. Higgs in anticipation of Brout-Englert-Higgs boson in physics; Sam Peltzman and Richard A. Posner with the expansion of the economic theory of rules in the field of economics. Biomedical candidates are Adrian P. Bird, Howard Cedar and Aharon Razin with basic findings related to DNA methylation and gene expression; for the chemical prize with MG Finn, Valery V. Fokin and K. Barry Sharpless for the development of modular click reactions (describing the processes of connecting small structures together into larger structures by chemical reaction) - if selected, this will be the second Nobel Prize for Sharpless (received the 2001 Nobel Prize).

In the field of physics, although many Physics World editors believe that the Higgs particle is likely to be selected, there are many ideas that Alain Aspect, Anton Zeilinger and John Clauser with the research work on the Bell formula - experiments that confirm quantum entanglement - have a chance to win, or a study of Atsuto Suzuki's neutrino oscillations. Inventing LED white light and blue light LED by Shuji Nakamura is also considered an important breakthrough in lighting technology. The discovery of reverse refraction (negative refractive index) by John Pendry and David Smith is also possible.

On an animal website in the UK, an article of great hope in studies explores the mystery of micro RNAs in animals and plants, small segments of nucleotides that silence genes, of three scientists. Victor Ambros, David Baulcombe and Gary Ruvkun. Or the work explores the importance of microbiome - the ecology of 100,000 billion bacteria, viruses and fungi that live in and on Jeffrey Gordon's body, or Napoleone Ferrera with the development of a completely new drug to prevent growth of cancer cells.

Looking at the list of predictions this year by Thomson Reuters, analysts believe that the Nobel Prize is still the main playground for men and American scientists. In addition, the scientists are getting older: the youngest is Lawrence Bragg at the age of 25 (Nobel 1915), while the oldest scientist to receive the Nobel Prize is Raymond Davis 88 (2002, later that four years).

With the Nobel Prize for Literature, according to the Guardian, following the Ladbrokes betting site, the most popular name is Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, who is famous for his latest novel named Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and pilgrim years ( there is a Vietnamese version) - the last ten years, the name Murakami has always been mentioned every Nobel season. Followed by American author Joyce Carol Oates, Hungarian writer - Peter Nádas, then Korean poet - Ko Un and Algerian writer - ranked Djebar. In the first two days of the month, the author and Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse was also a fairly quick surfer in the Ladbrokes' prediction. However, the Literature Prize is always one of the most controversial items, and the prize recipient is only notified half an hour before the decision is made.

About the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize, show the official website of the prize or the nomination list at 259, surpassing the record of 241 in 2011, and there are 50 nominations as organizations.
