The year ends with several losses in Spanish science and dissemination such as Margarita Salas Eduard Punset and Antonio López Campillo. Great international scientists from the fields of physics chemistry and botany also appear in this article in addition to the strange murder of the American Suzanne Eaton. Sydney Brenner el nobel de C. elegans January – April Sydney Brenner. Wikimedia CommonsBrenner was born in Gérmiston a small South African town and from a young age he showed signs of an intelligence that allowed him to enter medical school at just years old. A few years later he graduated and worked at prestigious institutions such as the University of Cambridge United Kingdom or the Salk Institute in San Diego United States. One of his great discoveries was that of messenger RNA an intermediary molecule that carries information from genes to proteins.
But it was his work with the C.elegans worm that earned him the Nobel Prize in Medicine in . This small invertebrate has since been used as a model animal in many researches on developmental biology and genetics due to its simple and transparent CXB Directory morphology and has led to many of the discoveries in these areas. He died last April at age . DavidThouless. WikipediaDavid J. Thouless and atomic nuclei September – April British physicist David J. Thouless who received the Nobel Prize in physics in has died at the age of . His research focused on superconductivity phenomena and the properties of atomic nuclei. In the s together with Michael Kosterlitz he used topology a branch of mathematics to describe the phase transitions of matter.
This procedure led to them being awarded the Swedish Academy Prize. Thouless was a member of the Royal Society the American Physical Society the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences. He received the Wolf Prize for Physics in . Nils_John_Nilsson. Wikimedia commons Nils John Nilsson the pioneer of artificial intelligence February – April Nilsson was an American scientist considered one of the founders of artificial intelligence AI thanks to his contributions in research planning knowledge representation and robotics. He was part of the team that built 'Shakey' in a robot that was capable of forming a model of its environment from data obtained by a sensor.
