MIL, Oct 5, 2004. MIL
Stockholm, Sweden - It’s Americans all the way at Nobel prize this year. After bagging the prize for medicine by scientist duo Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck of US, David J. Gross, H. David Politzer and Frank Wilczeck the America trio won the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics on October 5 for discovering and exploring the force, binding particles inside an atomic nucleus.
The research has taken science one step towards "fulfilling a grand dream, to formulate a unified theory comprising gravity as well -- a theory for everything," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in awarding the physics prize.
The trios are researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology respectively.
Meanwhile, two US scientists Richard Axel, 58, of Columbia University in New York, and Linda B. Buck, 57, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle bagged the coveted Nobel Prize for medicine October 4 for revealing odor-sensing proteins in the nose and mapping how they communicated to the brain.
