The Nobel Prize 2021 for physics was awarded to three scientists from Japan, Germany and Italy.

The Nobel Prize 2021 for physics was awarded to three scientists from Japan, Germany and Italy. Secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Goran Hansson, announced the winners on October 5, 2021.

Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann were awarded for their work in “ physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably forecasting global warming”.

Second half of the prize was awarded to Giorgio Parisi for his “ discovery of the interplay of condition and fluxes in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.”

As per Nobel Prize Panel, Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann have laid the “ foundation of our knowledge of Earth’s climate and how humanity influences it”.

Demonstration by Syukuro Manabe

Since 1960s, he'd demonstrated how increases in quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases the global temperatures. This demonstration laid the foundations for current climate models.

Demonstration by Klaus Hasselmann

He'd created a model to link weather and climate. This model helped in explaining why climate models can be reliable despite the chaotic nature of weather. He also demonstrated ways to look after specific signs of human influence on the climate.

Model developed by Giorgio Parisi

He made a deep physical and hairline model. This model made it possible to understand the complex systems in fields of mathematics, machine scholarship, biology and neuroscience.

Background

In the year 2020, the prize was conferred to Andrea Ghez from America, Roger Penrose from Britain and Reinhard Genzel from Germany for their study into black holes.

About Nobel Prize

The award comes with a gold order as well as 10 million Swedish kronor. Have for prize comes from a inheritance left by the creator of prize & Swedish developer, Alfred Nobel.
