华盛顿- 2012年诺贝尔奖表彰5位美国科学家在物理、化学和经济学领域做出的贡献。
美国国家标准与技术研究所(US National Institute
of
Standards and
Technology)和科罗拉多大学(University of
Colorado)的戴维·瓦恩兰(David J. Wineland)与法国科学家塞尔日·阿罗什(Serge
Haroche)共同获得诺贝尔物理学奖,归功于他们为观察单体量子系统活动作出的贡献。瓦恩兰的工作涉及控制电场中的带电离子并利用激光光束进行操纵。瓦恩兰在这个领域的大多数工作都是为了达到创造精确时钟的目的。

北卡罗来纳州德罕(Durham, North Carolina)杜克大学医学中心(Duke University Medical Center)的罗伯特·莱夫科维茨 (Robert Lefkowitz)和加利福尼亚州斯坦福大学(Stanford University)布莱恩·科比尔卡 (Brian Kobilka)共同获得诺贝尔化学奖。该奖项表彰他们研究细胞受体如何帮助人体对外界因素,例如在受到物理威胁的情况下,在细胞水平上产生的影响做出反应。
诺贝尔奖由瑞典斯德哥尔摩(Stockholm, Sweden)的诺贝尔基金会(Nobel Foundation)管理,自1901年来向全世界颁发各类奖项。每一个领域的奖金为800万瑞典克朗,约等于120万美元。诺贝尔奖以创始人艾尔佛雷德·诺贝尔(Alfred Nobel)的名字命名。诺贝尔本人是瑞典化学家、工程师和制造发明家。

Washington — The 2012 Nobel Prizes recognized five Americans for groundbreaking work in the fields of physics, chemistry and economics.
David J. Wineland of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Serge Haroche of France for their work in observing the behavior of individual quantum systems. Wineland’s prize-winning work involves holding charged ions in electric fields and using laser beams to manipulate them. Most of Wineland’s work in this area has derived from the goal of creating more accurate clocks.
Robert Lefkowitz (left) and Brian Kobilka shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their studies of protein receptors in cells.
Robert J. Lefkowitz of Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, and Brian K. Kobilka of Stanford University in California shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work in understanding how cell receptors help the human body respond to external factors, such as a physical threat, on the cellular level.
The Nobel Prizes are administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden, and have been awarded internationally since 1901. The prize in each field is 8 million Swedish kronor, or about $1.2 million. The prize is named for its founder, Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, engineer and armaments manufacturer.
