2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
Dr. John Gurdon and Dr. Shinya Yamanaka share the award in physiology or medicine for
discovering that mature, specialized cells can be reprogrammed into immature cells capable of
developing into all tissues of the body. Their key individual research findings into so-called stem
cells were separated by 50 years.

2012 Nobel Prize in Physics
Serge Haroche and David Wineland share the physics award for devising ways to study the
strange world of quantum physics, a realm in which reality often defies logic, as in the ability of
one particle to be in two places at the same time, or for it to behave as a particle sometimes and
as a wave at other times. It is a world so fragile that mere observation can destroy the quantum
particles under study.
