0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | J-P. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T dot-C-O-J-P. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.5 | This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski. Got a minute? |
0:39.3 | The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics, |
0:48.1 | with one half to David J. Thoules and the other half to F. Duncan Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz for theoretical |
1:00.0 | discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological faces of matter. |
1:06.7 | Gorin Hansen, Secretary General of the Academy this morning, all three new laureates were born in the UK and went on to US institutions. |
1:15.9 | Thalus is Emeritus Professor at the University of Washington. |
1:19.3 | Haldane is at Princeton and Kosterlitz is at Brown University. |
1:23.4 | Professor Nils Mortensen, the acting chairman of the Nobel Committee, |
1:28.5 | will provide some introductory remarks on the Nobel Prize in physics. |
1:33.4 | Yeah, this year's Nobel Prize recognizes important discoveries |
1:37.0 | in the field of condensed matter physics. |
1:40.4 | And today's advanced technology, take for instance our computers, rely on our ability to understand and control the properties of the materials involved. |
1:51.0 | And this year's Nobel laureates, having their theoretical work, discovered a set of totally unexpected regularities in the behavior of matter, which can be described in terms of an established |
2:03.6 | mathematical concept, namely that of topology. This has paved the way for designing new |
2:10.6 | materials with novel properties, and there is great hope that this will be important for many |
2:16.6 | future technologies. |
2:18.5 | Following the announcement, Hal Dane joined in by phone to talk about the discovery. |
