Recent winners of the Nobel Prize in physics, and their research, according to the Nobel Foundation:
314530
American Roger Kornberg, the son of a Nobel laureate, won the 2006 Nobel chemistry prize on Wednesday for showing how genes are copied, a process essential to how cells develop and life itself.
452744
Americans John C. Mather and George F. Smoot won the 2006 Nobel Prize in physics yesterday for producing the first tangible evidence that the universe began billions of years ago with the long-theorized big bang.
222117
Two US scientists win the Nobel Prize for Medicine for uncovering the secrets of the human sense of smell.
660650
Two Israelis and an American won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for showing how cells can give a "kiss of death" to destroy unwanted proteins, a finding that could help scientists find new medicines for cancer and other diseases. The award marks the first time an Israeli has won a Nobel science prize.
416674
David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek won the 2004 Nobel physics prize Tuesday for explaining how the basic building blocks of nature, quarks, interact to make a coin spin or build the entire universe.
111796
Americans Andrew Fire and Craig Mello won the 2006 Nobel prize for medicine on Monday for discovering how to control the flow of genetic information in a cell.
412038
Two US researchers yesterday shared the Â£760,000 Nobel prize for physiology or medicine for their discovery of the molecular machinery behind the scent of lilac in the spring, the bouquet of a vintage burgundy or the smell of napalm in the morning.
197969
Two U.S. scientists won the 2004  Nobel prize for medicine on Monday for showing how sense of  smell enables people to recall, for instance, the scent of  spring lilac in winter or the stench of rotten food eaten long  ago.

A Californian and two Israelis have won the 2004 Nobel Prize in chemistry for investigating the chemical &quot;kiss of death&quot; by which cells eliminate unwanted proteins.
196029
US scientists David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek have won the 2004 Nobel Prize for physics. They have been honoured for their insights into the deep structure of matter - the materials that build atoms and the forces that hold them together.
362568
American Roger D. Kornberg, whose father won a Nobel Prize a half-century ago, was awarded the prize in chemistry Wednesday for his studies of how cells take information from genes to produce proteins.Comment
