“Thanks a lot, Norway. I hope you’re happy — you made our baby cry,” Kimmel said after the president blamed Norway.

When Belgian American particle physicist Francis Halzen was awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in physics "for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin," it was a reminder that for more than a century, scientists have treated Antarctica's environments as windows onto worlds beyond Earth.

The two were honoured for developing new models for managing recessions and other crises that fail to respond to traditional tools. "On the basis of these models, well-timed fiscal and monetary policy measures can reduce the economy's peaks and troughs," the jury said. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences explained in a statement that ever since John Maynard Keynes formulated his economic theories almost a century ago, "stabilisation" policies had long let officials boost economic growth when needed. But during the oil shocks in the 1970s, the Keynesian models that governed when and how action should be taken no longer worked. Hall, 83, a professor at Stanford University, and Woodford, a professor at Columbia University born in 1955, separately began to explore new models. "Rather than basing the models on statistical links between macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, production and consumption, they chose to build them on a microeconomic foundation," the jury said.

Breaking down this year’s Nobel Prize–winning science, from switching brain cells on and off with light to catching cosmic neutrinos in Antarctic ice to building mirror-image molecules. Plus, a 194-year-old tortoise’s DNA might hold the key to a longer life.

Americans Robert Hall and Michael Woodford were awarded the Nobel economics prize Monday for their work on how monetary and fiscal policy can better stabilize disruptive economic fluctuations.

Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford were awarded the prize for their insights that helped policymakers become “better equipped to deal with shocks in the economy,” the committee said.

While scientists are known for their dedication to their research, crawling on the floor to avoid electrocution for the sake of a measurement seems a little excessive. But this is what British physicist John Cockcroft and Irish physicist Ernest T.S. Walton had to do in the early 1930s while studying the structure of atomic nuclei. Luckily, their efforts led to their receiving the Nobel Prize in 1951.

arXiv:2604.19153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Nobel Prize in literature 1965 was awarded Mikhail Sholokhov (1905-1984), for the epic novel Tikhij Don about Cossack life and the birth of a new Soviet society (And Quiet Flows the Don, or The Quiet Don, in different translations). Sholokhov has been compared to Tolstoy and was at least one and two generations ago called `the greatest of our writers' in the Soviet Union. In Russia alone his books have been published in more than a thousand editions, selling in total more than sixty million copies. He was an elected member of the USSR Supreme Soviet, the USSR Academy of Sciences, and of the CPSU Central Committee. But in the autumn of 1974 an article was published in Paris, Stremya `Tihogo Dona' (Zagadki romana (`The Rapids of Quiet Don: the Enigmas of the Novel'), by the author and critic D$^*$. He claimed that Tikhij Don was not at all Sholokhov's work, but that it rather was written by Fiodor Kriukov, a more obscure author who

arXiv:2603.20767v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics has been awarded annually since 1969. Who wins the prize is a topic of much interest and tracks the whole course of the academic discipline over the last 57 years. Explaining who wins the prize in any given year is a complex process, which involves the subtle endogeneity of the choice of the field and the individual(s) who should be honoured. Citations, track records, networks of past winners, institutional factors along with field rotation and Economic Prize Committee composition may all play a role. A dynamic sample involving a changing stock of would-be candidates along with a moving flow -- both into and out of the sample -- add complexities to the modelling. We find robust evidence that the Nobel Prize rotates in a semi-regular way between the fields of economics. Earlier awards were for a single paper, later ones for a body of work. Networks do not matter, but having a Nobel student or
