Electrons’ movements in atoms and molecules are so rapid that they are measured in attoseconds. An attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe.

#NobelPrize Image The experiments conducted by this year’s laureates demonstrated that attosecond pulses could be observed and measured, and that they could also be used in new experiments.

Before the discovery of insulin, people with diabetes didn’t live for long because there were very few treatments.

By 1920, scientists knew that diabetes was due to a lack of insulin formed in parts of the pancreas. Attempts to extract insulin from pancreatic cells had failed. Charles Best (left) and Fre... A surgeon named Frederick Banting suggested a different way to isolate insulin. Banting met with scientist John Macleod to formulate a plan.

Banting and his research assistant, Charles Best, began to experiment. In 1921 they successfully isolated insulin from a dog’s pancreas.

The 2019 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr, Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza “for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.” The fundamental importance of oxygen has been understood for centuries, but how cells adapt to changes in oxygen levels has long been unknown. This year’s #NobelPrize awarded work reveals the molecular mechanisms that underlie how cells adapt to variations in oxygen supply.
