2016 Breakthrough Nobel Prize
In 2012, the Nobel Prize Prize fund was founded by Arthur Levinson, President of Genentech Company.
Along with the sponsors of three business couples are husband and wife Sergey Brin is the co-founder of Google, billionaire Mark Zuckerberg - the founder of Facebook and 2 billionaires of Russia.
They voluntarily set up an annual award fund for scientists and researchers with groundbreaking research, bringing great benefits to mankind.
Nobel Prize Cup of Breakthrough honors lifetime achievement.
Each award of the Nobel Prize worth $ 3 million, 3 times more than the prize for the normal Nobel prize is $ 925,000.
Last year, the Nobel Prize was awarded to 12 researchers with a total value of $ 33 million.
When asked, 'why has this year's total value of the prize been reduced by 50%?' , A spokesman for the Nobel Prize fund said: 'The value of each reward fluctuates year by year'.
For example, this year, eight scientists shared a reward of $ 500,000. An 18-year-old schoolboy gets a reward of $ 400,000 not only for himself but for teachers and schools.

7 physicists represent 1,377 other researchers, receiving a prize of 3 million USD for detecting the loose structure of neutrinos, opening up further directions for standard physical form.
Ian Agol, a mathematician at the University of California and the Advanced Study Research Institute, received a $ 3 million prize for his contributions to the small, mathematical-related research group.
The first time the Sponsor Prize was given to a high school student.North Royalton High School Ohio State High School student Ryan Chester received an award because his scientific video explained the hypothesis about time.
