Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have been honoured with the Nobel Prize for Medicine. The Nobel Prize committee decided in favour of their "groundbreaking discovery" of "microRNA".

Instead of giving the physics prize to pioneers in physics, the academy on Tuesday gave the award to Princeton professor John Hopfield and University of Toronto professor Geoffrey Hinton for their work on AI and machine learning.

Similar flexibility, though in an area with far more profound consequences than ethology, has been demonstrated with regard to this year’s physics prize. Showing a sense of timeliness not always apparent in its deliberations,

John J. Hopfield was awarded the honor alongside Geoffrey E. Hinton, a British-Canadian professor at the University of Toronto, in Canada.

The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to two scientists, John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton, for their work on machine learning. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
