            The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics



        Nobel Prize is an international award Adminitrated by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. It is awarded separately in six different fields, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind. It is in fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. 

      

            A person or organisation awarded the Nobel Prize is called Nobel laureate. The first Nobel Prize were awarded in 1901. The peace Prize for that year was shared between the Frenchman Frederick Passy and the Swis Jean Henry Dunant.

          The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has announced the recipients of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics. The 2021 Noble prize has been awarded jointly to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems. 


2020Roger Penrose (Britain), Reinhard Genzel (Germany) and Andrea Ghez (US) for their research into black holes.
2019James Peebles (Canada-US) for discoveries explaining the universe's evolution after the Big Bang, and Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Switzerland) for the first discovery of an exoplanet.
2018Arthur Ashkin (US), Gerard Mourou (France) and Donna Strickland (Canada) for inventions in the laser field used for advanced precision instruments in corrective eye surgery and industry.
2017Barry Barish, Kip Thorne and Rainer Weiss (US) for the discovery of gravitational waves, a phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago as part of his theory of general relativity.
2016David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz (Britain) for their study of strange phenomena in unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids or thin magnetic films.
2015Takaaki Kajita (Japan) and Arthur McDonald (Canada) for their work on neutrinos.
2014Isamu Akasaki (Japan), Hiroshi Amano (Japan) and Shuji Nakamura (US) for their work on LED lamps.
2013Peter Higgs (Britain) and Francois Englert (Belgium) for their work on the so-called Higgs boson, a subatomic particle that gives mass to other particles.
2012Serge Haroche (France) and David Wineland (US) for experimental methods used to measure and manipulate quantum systems.
2011Saul Perlmutter, Adam Riess (US) and Brian Schmidt (US-Australian) for discovering the accelerating expansion of the universe.


                Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann have been jointly awarded one half of prize the " For the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming.   About 10 years later, Hasselmann developed a critical model, which links weather and climate, showing that climate changes, unlike weather can be reliably predicted. Manabe and Hasselmann awarded for work in physical modelling of Earth's climate , quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming. Hasselmann demonstrated how increases in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase global temperatures, laying the foundations for current climate models. Klaus Hasselmann hails from Germany. 

               Giorgio Parisi awarded for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales. He built a deep physical and mathematical model that made it possible to understand complex systems in fields like Mathematics, Biology, Neuroscience and Machine learning. Parisi is from Italy.
