Novice researchers divided the millions alternative Nobel Prize
On Sunday, the US Founders Award Breakthrough Prize Winners in mathematics, biology and physics. Scientists rewarded a sum of three million dollars.
According to Reuters, Science Prize Breakthrough Prize («Award for Breakthrough") established by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Google Sergey Brin, as well as biotechnology and co-founder of 23andMe Anne Voyzhitski (former wife of Sergey Brin). Unlike the Nobel Prize awarded Breakthrough Prizes to scientists, who are just beginning their careers in science. Also Prize differs from the "Nobel Prize" of the financial component: Scientists distribute three million dollars, while the award of the Nobel Prize does not exceed $ 1.2 million.
In physics the Grand Prix went to one thousand. 370 laureates. Three million divided between the scientists who worked on the project of neutrino oscillations (the possibility of converting from one type of neutrino into another, pointing to their non-zero mass). Recall Nobel Prize in Physics in 2015 for experimental confirmation of neutrino oscillations obtained Takaaki Kadzita Arthur MacDonald. Two-thirds of the prize will receive the leaders of the seven teams of scientists, the remaining million will be shared by the rest (about $ 700 for each physics). "I would give each of them three million, but so far it does not pull", - joked Yuri Milner.
A few awards found their owners in the field of biology. Premiums received scholars specializing in various fields - from optogenetics to the genome sequencing of ancient people (paleogenetics). It clarifies the RIA "Novosti", talking about the American molecular biologist Carl Deyserrote from Stanford University, and Ed Boyden of MIT, Helen Hobbs of the University of Texas, awarded for the discovery of variations in genes responsible for the level and distribution of cholesterol and other fats through the body and John Hardy - for the discovery of mutations in APP, leading to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
In the field of mathematics prize was one person. Breakthrough Prize Laureate was the American scientist Ian Egol the University of California. According to the founders of the award, he made a significant contribution to the study of topology of multidimensional spaces and the theory of groups.
Award Breakthrough Prize - not the only project of Yuri Milner in science. Earlier philanthropist said he was willing to spend $ 100 million on the search for extraterrestrial life, studying cosmic radio and light signals.
