Noble prize is the worlds most prestigious prize in the world.Following are few of my favourite winners:
ALBERT EINSTEIN
Who’s better to kick off this list than perhaps the most famous scientist in the history of the world? Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for discovering the cause of the “photoelectric effect.” This was a perplexing phenomenon in which atoms, when bombarded with light, emitted electrons. In 1905, Einstein argued that light was divided into discrete packets (which we now call photons). He theorized that, when these light packets struck atoms, electrons in those atoms absorbed them, and, with the extra energy, wrested free of the atoms that bound them.
MARIE CURIE
Marie Curie was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes, and is one of only two people in the history of the Nobels to win in two different fields. She and her husband Pierre, along with Henri Becquerel, won the Physics Prize in 1903 for their discovery of radioactivity. She then won for chemistry in 1911 for discovering the elements radium and polonium and investigating their properties.
ALEXANDER FLEMING
The 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine went to Sir Alexander Fleming, Ernst Chain and Sir Howard Florey for their discovery of penicillin, a fungus, and its use as an antibiotic.
Watson, Crick & Wilkins
Francis Crick and James Watson won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for their discovery that DNA is shaped like a double helix. Maurice Wilkins shared the prize with them for producing some of the earliest evidence in support of their claim — he used a technique called X-ray crystallography to map out the shape of the DNA molecule.
Werner Heisenberg
Heisenberg received the physics prize in 1932 for discovering the underlying principles of quantum mechanics, the rules that govern the behavior of subatomic particles.
These are my favorites.I request you all comment your favourites.
This blog is to show transition took by chinese govt,as they are moving towards renewable sources of energy.
Incredible growth in last 10 years
Today we are going to discuss few of these resources:
Algae bioreactors
Wind energy
Solar energy
Algae bioreactor
As we all know china is one of the biggest industrial hub.hence a huge amount of pollutants are released.So they have created a kind of bioreactor where different types of bryophytes i.e algae are used which has a nutrient medium for these algae to grow.
They absorb atmospheric co2 and chemically decompose it into o2.They can also be used for biofuel extraction.
Microalgae unicellular ,photosynthetic aquatic plants. They are introduced to poultry diets mainly as a rich source of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including docohexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acid, but they can also serve as a protein, microelement, vitamin and antioxidants source, as well as a pigmentation agent for skin and egg yolks. The majority of experiments have shown that microalgae, mainly Spirulina and Chlorella sourced as a defatted biomass from biofuel production, can be successfully used as a feed ingredient in poultry nutrition. They can have beneficial effects on meat and egg quality, i.e. via an increased concentration of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids, and in regards to performance indices and immune function. Positive results were obtained when fresh microalgae biomass was used to replace antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diets. In conclusion, because of their chemical composition, microalgae can be efficiently used in poultry nutrition to enhance the pigmentation and nutritional value of meat and eggs, as well as partial replacement of conventional dietary protein sources.
Wind energy:
Every hour in the world 3 wind mills are setup,out of which one is of china.they are producing a total of 241 TWH in every hour.
Solar energy
China is the world’s largest market for both photovoltaics and solar thermal energy. Since 2013 China has been the world’s leading installer of solar photovoltaics (PV). In 2015, China became the world’s largest producer of photovoltaic power, narrowly surpassing Germany.In 2017 China was the first country to pass 100 GW of cumulative installed PV capacity and by the end of 2018, it had 174 GW of cumulative installed solar capacity
I personally think India should also built bioreactors and involve more in renewable source of energy.
