ショウ賞 2017: 勝者

受賞者

1. 天文学

   Simon D. M. White

   物理学

   For his contributions to understanding structure formation in the Universe. With powerful numerical simulations he has shown how small density fluctuations in the early Universe develop into galaxies and other nonlinear structures, strongly supporting a cosmology with a flat geometry, and dominated by dark matter and a cosmological constant.

2. 生命科学と医学

   Ian R. Gibbons, Ronald Vale

   生物学

   For their discovery of microtubule-associated motor proteins: engines that power cellular and intracellular movements essential to the growth, division, and survival of human cells.

3. 数理科学

   Claire Voisin, János Kollár

   数学

   For their remarkable results in many central areas of algebraic geometry, which have transformed the field and led to the solution of long-standing problems that had appeared out of reach.
