On October 6, Norwegian scientists May-Britt and Edward Moser, both won the Nobel Prize for Biomedical Sciences, affirmed their marriage was the foundation for success.

According to AFP, May-Britt Moser said that Mrs. Edward and her husband 'have the same vision, understand each other, always talk to each other, discussing together the questions we care about.'

'Can discuss quickly with each other when the idea is what makes the difference' - Ms. May-Britt Moser stressed.

Today Mr. and Mrs. Moser have been honored with the Nobel Prize for Biomedical Research for their work on natural positioning systems in the human brain. They shared a $ 1.1 million prize with British expert John O'Keefe.

Mr. and Mrs. Moser are the fifth couple to win a Nobel Prize, and the fourth to win the prize together.

In 1903, French scientist Marie Curie and her husband Pierre won the Nobel Prize in physics. Three decades later their daughter, Irene Joliot-Curie, shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with her husband Frederic Joliot. Gerty and Carl Cori and his wife shared the Nobel Prize in 1974.

Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1974. And eight years later, his wife, Alva Myrdal, received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Specialist Gustav Kaellstrand of the Nobel Museum in Stockholm (Sweden) said that Nobel laureates often ' have relationships with smart and open people'.

So he believes that more couples will win Nobel prizes in the future.

'Couples are often the cohesive team. They can exchange ideas in and out of the lab. It is very useful because sometimes the genius ideas cannot appear if the scientist stays in the laboratory ' - Kaellstrand said.
