“When I went to high school, I read a book on Madam Curie and thought that it would be a good thing to become a scientist." Yuan T. Lee became a scientist after first being inspired by another Nobel Prize laureate - Marie Skłodowska Curie. Lee went on to study chemistry, with a

On this day in 1989, the COBE satellite rocketed into Earth's orbit. Its goal? To measure and map the oldest light in our universe – the cosmic microwave background. After just nine minutes, COBE sent back its first results – a blackbody spectrum. These results provided

To understand the ability to orient ourselves in space, John O'Keefe studied brains of rats as they moved around a room. He found different cells were activated depending on where the rat was - forming an internal brain map of the room. Learn more: https://t.co/mvlE2Xkm9L

“A voyage to Europe in the summer of 1921 gave me the first opportunity of observing the wonderful blue opalescence of the Mediterranean Sea. It seemed not unlikely that the phenomenon owed its origin to the scattering of sunlight by the molecules of the water. To test this

Did you know that all living things have DNA within their cells? For the organism to live and develop, its DNA cannot change, but DNA molecules aren't completely stable and can also be damaged. Aziz Sancar was one of three scientists to receive the 2015 Nobel Prize in

”We’re one catalytic reaction away from solving climate change. We have to do a better job of explaining to the world how important these types of scientific areas are — because we really are that close.” At the 2025 Nobel Prize Dialogue India, chemistry laureate David MacMillan

Did you know that it has been 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics? It began with physics laureate Werner Heisenberg who formulated a type of quantum mechanics based on matrices 100 years ago. Two years later in 1927 he proposed the “uncertainty

Diabetes used to be a death sentence, but that changed in 1922 when a teenager’s miraculous recovery brought hope to millions. Leonard Thompson was a happy child who loved football and other sports. At the age of eleven, he was diagnosed with diabetes, a then incurable
