Nobel prize winners were announced this month. Nobel prize has 6 categories, peace prize, literature prize, physical prize, economy prize, medical prize, and chemistry prize. This year many people won the novel prize. Let me introduce the Nobel Prize winners of this year.

1.Nobel Prize of Physiology and medicine
Winner    James Rothman, Randy Schekman, Thomas Sudhof
They found the system called "vesicular transport". This system carries substances within a cell. Vesicles are tiny bubbles of fat. And it act as the cell's internal shipping service.These three people are professor in the university. James Rothman, Randy Schekman are from USA and Thomas Sudhof is from Germany.
 
2.Nobel Prize of physics
Winner   Peter Higgs,  Francois Englert
They predicted that "Higgs boson" to give mass to all matter in 1964. In 2012, "Higgs boson" was finaly discovered by LHC ( Large Hadron Collider )  at Cern, in Switzerland.

3.Nobel Prize of chemistry
Winner   Michael Levitt, Martin Karplus, Arieh Warshel
They invented computer simulations to understand chemical processes. Now, many scientist use this simulations to research the new kinds of drugs.


4.Nobel prize of literature
Winner    Alice Munro
Alice Munro is the Canadian writer. She has been known as a virtuoso of the short
novel. She won a lot of prize. In 1968, she won her first prize, "Governor General literary award" Then, she won "National Critics Association Award", "W H Smith
Award", "Pen / Malamud award", "o Henry award " and "International Booker

5. Nobel prize of peace
Winner  OPCW
I think many people don't know about OPCW. OPCW is abbreviation of "Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons". This is international institution that established in 1997. OPCW aims at the prohibition of chemical weapons and non-proliferation activity in the world. Nobel committee decide to confer to OPCW because it  has worked for many years in the elimination of chemical weapons activities.

6.Nobel prize of economy
It is not yet announced.

Many people won the Nobel prize this year. They did a really great thing. James Rothman, Randy Schekman, Thomas Sudhof found a system that called "vesicular transport". It will use at medical setting, and save a lot of people's life.         
Peter Higgs,  Francois Englert found a "Higgs boson". That wii be useful in our
life in the future. Michael Levitt, Martin Karplus, Arieh Warshel deviced computer
simulations. It wii be a clue that make new medicine. Alice Munro wrote a lot of
great book. It will establish the new world in the heart of people. OPCW works on nuclear disarmament. It will make peaceful socitey. Many people and many groups
work for society, and contribute to the society. I think it is great and we must not give
up.
