Immediately after the award ceremony, which took place on December 10 of 2017, 500 participants claimed to receive the Peace Prize. Four independent committees study candidates and weed out on their own initiative. The fate of the remaining winners is decided by the Nobel Committee.

Medicine Award. Scientists, James Ellison and Tasuku Honjou, managed to deceive a cancerous tumor. Or rather, to create a drug that improves human immunity to the disease. The researchers failed to cure cancer - only to stop the spread of cancer cells for a long period.

Prize in Physics. Scientists have returned to the study of laser technology. Having switched from military subjects, researchers returned to improving life on the planet. Gerard Moore, Arthur Ashkin and Donn Strickland invented laser tweezers. The device helps to move molecules, cells and other substances. Scientists have spent 16 years creating tweezers.

Prize in Chemistry. The problem of cancer around the world has spurred chemists, George Smith and Gregory Winter, to create antibodies that can resist cancer.

Another stupid scientists
