BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt “for having explained innovation-driven economic growth” with one half to Mokyr “for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress” and the other half jointly to Aghion and Howitt “for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction.” #NobelPrize

Congratulations to UC Berkeley’s Omar Yaghi, who shares the 2025 @NobelPrize in #Chemistry for helping create a field called reticular chemistry. bit.ly/4q5wGsg

“My parents could barely read or write. It’s been quite a journey, science allows you to do it.” New laureate Omar Yaghi was in the middle of changing flights when we reached him, just after he heard that he had been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry. In this interview we speak about his early life as a refugee in Jordan and the overwhelming draw of the beauty of chemistry: “I set out to build beautiful things and solve intellectual problems.” Listen now:

The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physics recognises experiments that demonstrated how quantum tunnelling can be observed on a macroscopic scale, involving many particles. John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis – awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics – constructed an experiment using a superconducting electrical circuit. The chip that held this circuit was about a centimetre in size. Previously, tunnelling and energy quantisation had been studied in systems that had just a few particles; here, these phenomena appeared in a quantum mechanical system with billions of Cooper pairs that filled the entire superconductor on the chip. In this way, the experiment took quantum mechanical effects from a microscopic scale to a macroscopic one. Read more about the research that led to this year’s physics prize: bit.ly/48EJC1P

wow, what a joyful day on arxiv!

Our immune system is an evolutionary masterpiece. Every day it protects us from the thousands of different viruses, bacteria and other microbes that attempt to invade our bodies. Without a functioning immune system, we would not survive. One of the immune system’s marvels is its ability to identify pathogens and differentiate them from the body’s own cells. The microbes that threaten our health do not wear a uniform – they all have different appearances. Many have also developed similarities to human cells, as a form of camouflage. So how does the immune system keep track of what to attack and what to protect? Why doesn’t the immune system attack our bodies more frequently? Researchers long believed they knew the answer to these questions: that immune cells mature through a process called central immune tolerance (see image). However, our immune system turned out to be more complex than they believed. Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.

Michel Talagrand is a French mathematician whose profound work revolutionized modern probability theory. He received the 2024 Abel Prize, mathematics' highest honor, for his groundbreaking contributions. Talagrand is renowned for masterfully solving long-standing open problems and developing powerful, widely applicable theoretical frameworks. His most celebrated achievements include major advances in the theory of large deviations, concentration of measure phenomena, and spin glasses in statistical physics. He created profound inequalities that bear his name, providing essential tools for quantifying how random processes concentrate around their mean. These tools are indispensable across mathematics and science, from high-dimensional statistics to machine learning, fundamentally deepening our understanding of randomness and complexity.

Can you guess what this picture is? It's an image of vitamin C, taken with polarised light. Vitamin C led to both the 1937 medicine and chemistry prizes: to Albert von Szent-Györgyi who first isolated it, and Norman Haworth for determining its molecular structure.
