Nobel Prizes for 2015

Check out information on the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, for the discovery that neutrinos have mass. This was a major discovery in particle physics, since it showed direct evidence that neutrino oscillations can occur. Prior to that, neutrinos were thought to be massless and travel at the speed of light.

Check out information on the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, for work done on understanding how DNA repairs itself in a complex chemical environment known as a cell!
