"Married couples are often a good team, and they can constantly exchange ideas inside and outside the laboratory." In the future, maybe we will see more Nobel Prize "husband and wife files".
A few days ago, the 20 14 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to Mo Ze and his wife from Norway, which is the fifth couple to win the Nobel Prize so far. After winning the prize, Mo Ze and his wife were promoted to be members of the Nobel Prize Couples Club, which was composed of many Nobel Prize-winning scientists and couples, including Marie Curie and pierre curie.
"Married couples are usually a good partner. Introducing Karl Gunnar Myrdal, they can constantly exchange ideas inside and outside the laboratory. " Gustavk llstrand, director of the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, said, "This is a good way, because when you are sitting in the laboratory, you may not get the best advice from generate."
Kyle strand believes that Nobel Prize winners tend to "surround themselves with other intelligent and enlightened people", which makes it easier to motivate themselves and others. He expects to see more Nobel Prize "husband and wife files" in the future.

May-Britt Mo Ze and edvard moser won the 20 14 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
654381October 6, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was announced. John O'Keefe shared this year's prize with Norwegian couple Mo Ze, who discovered a brain cell that is important for orientation perception.
Mr. and Mrs. Mo Ze are both professors at the Kafliko Institute of Systems Neuroscience and the Center for Memory Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Together, they founded this research center and led a series of cutting-edge research on brain mechanism in the past decades.
After John O'Keefe discovered the "localization cell", in 2005, Mr. and Mrs. Mo Ze discovered another key component of the brain localization system. They identified another kind of nerve cell "grid", which can generate a coordinate system for accurate positioning and pathfinding. Their findings show how the brain determines its position and orientation with the help of grid cells.
Neither Edward nor Maibrite's family has any academic background or atmosphere. Edward once mentioned in an interview, "In the place where we grew up, few people received a college education, and no one would ask for it. No one knows how to do these things at all. " Now, their findings let people know how the brain creates maps of the surrounding space and how humans guide in complex environments.
Talking about the role of marriage in her research, Mei Britt said that she and her husband share the same vision, are willing to communicate and understand each other, and are committed to solving their concerns together.
"When you suddenly think of a problem, you can discuss it immediately (with your husband) instead of (having to) plan a meeting in a week, two weeks or three weeks. The effect is completely different." Maybrit said.
The curies
Marie Curie and pierre curie 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics.
The story of the Curie couple has long been known to people. Pierre curie and Marie Curie won the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on radioactive substances.
At Sorbonne University, pierre curie met Marie Curie. The two of them often cooperate to study radioactive materials with tons of industrial waste residue as raw materials, because the total radioactivity of this ore is stronger than the uranium contained in it.
1898, the curies put forward a logical inference to this phenomenon: pitchblende must contain some unknown radioactive component-Karl Gunnar Myrdal, which is much more radioactive than uranium. On February 26th, 65438, Madame Curie announced the idea of the existence of this new substance.
In the following years, the Curies continued to refine the radioactive components in pitchblende. After unremitting efforts, they finally successfully separated radium chloride and discovered two new chemical elements: polonium (Po) and radium (Ra). Because of the discovery and research of radioactive substances, the Curies and Henri Bekkerel won the 1903 Nobel Prize in physics, and Madame Curie became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in history.
Mr and Mrs Joliot-Curie.
Irena Joliot-Curie and Frederic Joliot-Curie 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Thirty-two years after the Curies won the Nobel Prize, another couple of the Curies once again stepped onto the podium of the Nobel Prize.
Frederick Joliot-Curie and Irena Joliot-Joliot-Curie both won the 1935 Nobel Prize in chemistry for synthesizing new radionuclides.
Irene Joliot-Curie is the eldest daughter of Madame Curie, and foreign women usually take their husband's surname after marriage. In order to commemorate Curie's great surname, Irene and Frederic adopted the method of merging husband and wife's surnames.
Joliot-Curie and his wife discovered a penetrating radiation at 1932, which was later identified as a neutron. 1934 discovered artificial radioactive substances and studied fission phenomena.
1935, Joliot-Curie and his wife won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. 1948, they also led the establishment of the first nuclear reactor in France.
Since Joliot-Curie and his wife made this important discovery in 1934, physicists have studied and developed their methods. More and more bigger particle accelerators have come out. Since then, scientists have been able to produce radioactive isotopes of almost all elements. At present, most of the more than 2,000 known radioisotopes are manufactured artificially. At present, radioisotopes have not only been widely used in industry, agriculture, commerce and national defense industry, but also have great influence on promoting the research of some disciplines, especially chemistry, biology and medicine. This makes the peaceful use of atomic energy a reality and greatly benefits mankind.
At the same time, the discovery of artificial radionuclides also provided important enlightenment for the manufacture of the first atomic bomb. The manufacturing principle of the first atomic bomb in human history was put forward by Fermi. However, Fermi's program of making atomic bombs is completely arranged according to Irina's theory and practice of artificial radioactive elements. Irena Joliot-Curie, as a pioneer in discovering man-made radioisotopes, her contribution will be recorded in the history of human civilization forever.
Mr. and Mrs. Corey
Carl cori and Katie Corey 1947 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
1947, carl cori and Kitty Corey were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of enzymatic reactions in sugar metabolism.
The Nobel Prize-winning couple met in Calgary's college days. During World War I, carl cori served in the Italian front as a lieutenant of the Austrian Army Health Corps. After returning to the university, he studied with his future wife Kitty, and obtained a doctorate in medicine at 1920.
Mr. and Mrs. Corey spend most of their time in cooperative research. I have been interested in preclinical research since I was a student. Their first co-authored paper is about the immunological study of human serum complement. When they went to the United States to continue their research, they first studied the metabolism of sugar and insulin in animals. The effect of adrenaline confirmed the existence of glycolysis of tumor in vitro. Their research on carbohydrate metabolism has gone through the forms of whole animals, isolated tissues, tissue extracts, isolated enzymes and crystallization.
1936, they isolated 1 glucose monophosphate, namely "Corylate", and tracked its phosphorylase activity, which can catalyze the decomposition and synthesis of polysaccharides, making it possible to synthesize glycogen and starch in vitro by enzyme catalysis. Then, phosphorylase and other enzymes are crystallized.
Corey and his wife have always been interested in the mechanism of action of hormones and have done some research on the pituitary gland. They observed that the sugar content of rats with pituitary resection increased significantly, while the blood sugar decreased significantly, accompanied by increased glucose oxidation. Then, by studying the effect of hormones on hexokinase, they found that some pituitary extracts can inhibit this enzyme in vivo and in vitro, and insulin can just resist this inhibition.
During the period of 1947, Corey and his wife won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the catalytic effect of pituitary hormones on glycogen in the process of glucose metabolism, and Hussain, an Argentine scientist, won the same prize for studying the effects of pituitary hormones on animal metabolism.

Karl Gunnar Myrdal 1974 Nobel Prize in Economics Alva Myrdal 1982 Nobel Peace Prize
1974 nobel prize in economics
Alva Myrdal 1982 Nobel Peace Prize
Different from the previous Nobel Prize couple, Karl Gunnar Myrdal and Alva Myrdal worked in different fields and won different Nobel Prizes.
Karl Gunnar Myrdal, Swedish economist and politician. From 65438 to 0974, he won the Nobel Prize in Economics with Professor friedrich hayek for his pioneering work in the theory of monetary and economic fluctuations and their profound analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena.
Since the establishment of the Economics Prize, the names of Karl Gunnar Myrdal and friedrich hayek have always appeared on the list of proposed winners: both of them started their research careers with the important book Pure Economic Theory. Their early work was mainly in the same city: economic fluctuation theory and monetary theory. Since then, the two economists have broadened their horizons, including a wide range of social and institutional phenomena.
Early in his scientific career, Mildred showed extensive interest in economics. His book "Political Factors in the Development of Economic Theory" (1930) talks about how political values are integrated into economic analysis in many research fields. In another academic masterpiece, America's Dilemma: Black Issues and Modern Democracy, Samuel used literature to prove his ability to combine economic analysis with a broad sociological perspective. Madar's extensive research on the problems of developing countries is in essence very consistent with the plight of the United States. This is also the study of economics and sociology in the broadest sense, in which political, institutional, demographic, educational and health factors are given great importance.
Karl Gunnar Myrdal's wife, Alva Myrdal, is also a respected woman. As a well-known social activist in Sweden, she and Alfonso Garcí a Robles won the Nobel Peace Prize with 1982.
Alva Myrdal is a senior party member of Swedish Social Democratic Labor Party. From 1950 to 1955, she served as the director of the Institute of Social Sciences of UNESCO, and was the first female director of this position. 1962 was elected as a member of the Swedish parliament, and 1962 to 1973 represented Sweden at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament in Geneva. It is because of her outstanding work in disarmament that she became one of the winners of the 1982 Nobel Peace Prize.
