"Each October, physics is in the news with the awarding of the Nobel Prize. The
work acknowledged through this most prestigious award often seems far removed
from our everyday lives, with prizes given for things like “optical methods for
studying Hertzian resonances in atoms” and “elucidating the quantum structure
of electroweak interactions”.
However, these lauded advances in our basic understanding of the world often
have very real, practical consequences for society.
To take just a few examples, Nobel-winning physics has given us portable
computers, efficient LED lighting, climate modelling and radiation treatment of
cancer."
