Nobel Prizes 2012 in science have been awarded

In Chemistry , the Nobel prize 2012 was awarded jointly to Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors

Americans Robert Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka won the Nobel Prize for studies of protein receptors that let body cells sense and respond to outside signals. Such studies are key for developing better drugs. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the two researchers had made groundbreaking discoveries, mainly in the 1980s, on an important family of receptors, known as G-protein-coupled receptors.

The physicist Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland are also won the Nobel Prize for Physics this year. They received the prize for their pioneering work in the field of quantum mechanics, which allow to study individual quantum states and to manipulate.
