Susan Greenfield

2020/02/19

I hated science, I thought it was rather boring - no room for creativity or imagination, says baroness Susan Greenfield, professor of physiology at the University of Oxford. But her approach has changed a lot since than. Through philosophy and psychology she eventually got into neuroscience, she wrote ten books for general public as a part of popularization of science. Her research focuses for example on Alzheimer's disease and examines the changes caused in our brain and in our behavior by

Serge Haroche

He captured a photon and let it fly around in a box into which he sent some atoms, then he asked the atoms what could they tell him about the photon – Serge Haroche, laureate of the 2012 Nobel prize in physics. He invented new methods that enable the measurement and manipulation of individual quantum systems, what is their potential use? Perhaps faster computers and better lasers but for now this is fundamental research. He is the third in a succession of Nobel laureates, his two teachers

He described a process that helps molecules to identify one another - for example this means that drugs can recognize which cell to kill and which to let live, Jean-Marie Lehn, laureate of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The founder of supramolecular chemistry who says that chemistry is trying to build bridge between physics and biology. Why does he consider the periodic table of elements to be the most fantastic product? Why should we or shouldnt we examine complex systems piece by

She worked for Boeing, then for NASA, now for Virgin Hyperloop One. Or in other words - she worked on ion engines, developed the parachute that slowed down Curiosity before it landed on Mars and now is trying to figure out how to transport people at 700 km/h - Anita Sengupta. She says that everything thats happened in her life was serendipity. Was it really? How many calculations and tests did it take her and her colleagues to enable Curiosity to safely slow down by more than 1 000

2020/02/19

He took the first step towards creating a molecular machine - Jean-Pierre Sauvage, laureate of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His study of photosynthesis opened up a new direction that eventually led to the development of nanocars. These would one day deliver drugs within our body, though he focuses on fundamental research. How did he start bonding molecules? Why is it so difficult to make artificial photosynthesis work and how was his life influenced by his

Extreme weather fluctuations, icebergs melting, ocean levels rising - these are just some of the impacts of climate change. And the consequences for mankind are huge and will get even bigger unless we manage to respond. But how? What are the possible scenarios, what influences them, what can governments do and what can we do as individuals? www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/1044129…hillipe-ciais/

Most people's acts in economics are not driven by logic or rational thought but by their experience, says professor Vernon Smith who in 2002 received Swedens Central bank Prize in Economic Sciences, known as the Nobel Prize in Economics. He focuses on experiments describing how people behave when they trade. How does our decision-making change as we gradually gain more information? How have his experiments contributed to practice for example in the regulating transport? And why does he

I listen to neurons but brain speaks in symphony, that's why you need to listen to multiple neurons at once - says neuroscientist and anesthesiologist Divya Chander who works at Faculty in medicine of Singularity University. Using EEG she listens to the brain to find out what is really happening inside, this allows her to study our consciousness and new ways of helping people for example with Parkinson's disease or partial paralysis.

A cleanup in the cell without which we wouldn't survive. That's autophagy - a process in which a cell gets ris of it's damaged or unnecessary parts and which seems to be also crucial in the fight against certain diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, diabetes or cancer. Autophagy was described by professor Yoshinori Ohsumi and for this he received the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine - the world's most prestigious science award, yet he himself says his first big
