NEW DELHI: The Nobel prize in Chemistry 2024 has been awarded to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction .”
The Nobel committee at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences made this announcement on Wednesday, a day after two pioneers won the physics award for artificial intelligence.
In the previous year, the chemistry prize was awarded to a trio of scientists for their research on quantum dots, which are minuscule particles measuring only a few nanometers in diameter.
These particles have the ability to emit exceptionally bright colored light and have found applications in various aspects of daily life, including electronics and medical imaging.
The Nobel announcements, which span over six days, began on Monday with Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun being honored with the medicine prize.
The physics prize was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton, two founding fathers of machine learning. The 2024 Nobel Prize laureates in Physics utilized tools from their field to develop methods that have significantly contributed to the foundation of modern machine learning.
The literature prize will be announced on Thursday, followed by the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
While the economics award will be revealed on Oct. 14.
