“This will probably be an opportunity for 2 scientists, who’ve obtained their Nobel Prize medals the day earlier than for the discoveries of attoseconds and quantum dots, to have a dialog with astronauts,” the Nobel Prize Museum wrote of the event.
“Be part of us to listen to their views on the significance of fundamental science, how we’re continually increasing our information in regards to the universe, and the challenges of conducting experiments in area.”
Bawendi gained the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his purposes of quantum dots, that are semiconductor nanocrystals. Krausz gained the Nobel Prize in Physics with work on attosecond-scale pulses of sunshine that stimulate charged particles similar to electrons in matter. (An attosecond is simply 0.000000000000000001 of a second.)
The occasion will probably be livestreamed from the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm, though not all visitors of honor will probably be onsite. Mogensen is on the ISS, whereas Wandt will cellphone in from his coaching at NASA’s Johnson Area Middle in Houston.
