has been awarded to two researches for their work on climate change and innovation the royal swedish academy of sciences said u.s. economists william nordhaus and paul romer received the award for their work integrating innovation and global warming with economic growth along with the prize the two researches will receive a million u.s. dollars economic surprise is not really a nobel prize it was created by the swedish central bank in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine in memory of alfred nobel a bank. i've overcome on from the business joins us to tell us more about these two guys again the other two men who've won the oil exactly tell us a bit more about these mit so william nordhaus of yale university he's called the father of climate change economics he's been doing this kind of research since the seventy's he's a true pioneer in that field and then we have full roam of new york university he's more looking into innovation technological change and how this drives growth they've both been rumored to actually win the nobel prize for a couple of years now and i finally have and i guess it's interesti

romer receive the award for integrating innovation and climate with economic growth the royal swedish academy of sciences said along with the prize the researchers were receiving nine million swedish kronor or one million u.s. dollars you can almost prize is not formally a nobel prize as it was created by the swedish central bank in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine in memory of alfred nobel. well for more i'm joined by martha overcome on my colleague from d.w. business model william nordhaus and paul romer are the winners tell us some more about them we'll you know tell us from yale university often called the father of economic climate economics and he started looking into this topic as early as the one nine hundred seventy s. a true pioneer in the field and then we have paul romer who's more looking into innovation technology and how these can force the economic growth both these names have been rumored to actually win the nobel prize for economics for a long time now they finally have been on the shortlist this year as well now the two are being rewarded for their work on climate change and innova

the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm has announced this year's nobel prize for chemistry the three recipients are francis h. arnold and george p. smith of the u.s. and britain's gregory p. renter the nobel committee said they'd been given the prestigious award for their work in developing proteins of soft human kinds not chemical the problems she's currently the california institute of and the. next is here to tell us more about the nobel committee's decision and also what this prize really means so these researchers work in different fields so why are they sharing this prize all three harness the power of evolution that's how the nobel prize committee described their achievements they actually brought kind of evolution to chemistry but also to evolution itself because they took control of evolution in a way what they did was to create new proteins and proteins are the basis of all life on earth and they used evolution or principles for this which means that they first. so they first created mutations which means changing the genes and then they selected the most the fitt

speaking with us earlier this year's nobel prize for physics has just been announced by the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm it's been awarded in two parts with half going to u.s. scientists arthur ashkan and the other half to a team of two physicists the frenchman gerard maule roo and canadian donna strickland the three were honored for their research in the field of laser physics . and derek williams joins us here in the studio to tell us a little bit more about the nobel committee's decision and why exactly they've received this prize tell us a little bit more about laser physics and what they've accomplished these are two fairly widely divergent fields but what they do have in common is laser physics ashton's work involved what are called optical tweezers so they allowed us on a micro he created a tool that allowed us on a microscopic level to to push around things like bacteria and viruses without actually killing them before them we had to actually kill them and fix them place in order to observe them so it allowed us to begin to observing these living systems which obviously had huge ram

this year's nobel prize for physics has just been announced by the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm it's been awarded in two parts one half goes to u.s. scientists. and the other half to a team of two physicists the frenchman. and canadian donna strickland the three were honored for their research in the field of laser physics. so did obvious science correspondent derrick wins is joining me now to tell us more about the nobel committee's decision so derek i want us to first look at this prize that was given to lisa physicists why is that why is that happening now with the academy group to together under one common name they called it to for tools of life now lasers play an amazing very very broad role in today's society is there in everything there from the barcode scanners there and just drives we use them in industry there lasers are actually everywhere so they decided to give a. prize that that would honor the people who have done some really groundbreaking work and some of the aspects of this particular field one of the for arthur ashton was for what they call optica

in the change global climate the royal swedish academy of sciences was awarded this year's nobel prize in economics sciences to william nordhaus and paul romer for their research into public policy interventions to curb the profit seeking processes that have our planet on path to catastrophic climate change the academy said the two professors significantly broaden the scope of economic analysis by constructing models that explain how the market economy interacts with nature and knowledge and that they have addressed quote our times most basic and pressing questions about how we create long term sustained and sustainable economic growth mr nordhaus is sterling professor of economics at yale and mr roemer is that new york university on the science the u.n. intergovernmental panel on climate change or i.p.c.c. today warned that our species only has about a dozen years left to take urgent transformative action to avoid absolute climate catastrophe the i.p.c.c. says time is quickly running out to hold global warming to one point five degrees versus two degrees of voiding global death to cor

now in other news this year's nobel prize for physics has just been announced by the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm and it has been awarded in two parts with half going to the u.s. scientist arthur ashe can and the other half to a team of two physicists the frenchman gerard rowe and canadian donna strickland the three were honored for their research in the fields of laser physics. derek williams is here to tell us a little bit more about this decision and to break down what exactly laser physics is first of all derek because i'm not aware are you surprised by the stripes well it wasn't really on anyone's short list to be honest it's also a very diffuse kind of an award it's laser physics is a very broad field in there and they're really giving it you know half and half to these to these to this task and to marie and strickland for really very different accomplishments in the field on the one hand with can you have he manipulates is. biological material with lasers so he's actually using it as a tool so advances in that particular field whereas the advances from ruin strickland date all

this year's nobel prize for physics has just been announced by the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm and it's been awarded in two parts the first going to u.s. scientists arthur ashe again and the other half to a team of two physicists frenchman move or and canadian donna strickland the three were honored for their research in the field of laser physics. and u.w. science journalist anna sacco is joining me now to tell us more about the nobel committee's decision so and this prize is given to louisa physicists why is that. well because first of all laser physics is a really broad field so the price was actually split into two different discoveries you see so ask in one of four optical tweezer that's the thing that he invented which basically allows you to trap living cells in a laser beam and analyze them while they are still living so this is a real game changer for the field because it's a cheaper method a cheaper technology which is already used around around the world and then the other two strickland they developed a method that is called c.p. and what they were able

into how we can achieve more sustainable more healthy growth now the both of them the royal swedish academy of sciences says are being awarded for their long term sustainable growth in the economy on research on the topic now that on a day when researchers are calling for unprecedented changes to limit global warming that can be quinces can it certainly i mean climate change as we all know it's one of the biggest challenges that we have facing we see this in this report that came out today just as much as policymakers agreeing on things like the paris climate change agreement and the economy is one of the biggest drivers obviously of climate change produces a lot of emissions so now the committee of warding these particular economists the nobel prize for economics certainly shows that you know there's a long way to go in fighting this and now some recognition for people who are fighting it there's year's winners of nobel economics prize william nordhaus and paul romer receiving the award for their work on climate change and innovation model work come on from business thanks for breaking down the story

has been awarded to two researches for their work on climate change and innovation the royal swedish academy of sciences said that u.s. economists will you know house and a received the award for their work integrating innovation and global warming with economic growth along with a prize the two researchers will receive a million u.s. stole as economics prize is not fully a nobel prize it was created by the swedish central bank in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine in memory of how for no. i don't have a comment from to get your business joins us to tell us more about these two guys again now the two men who've won the oil and exactly tell us a bit more about these mit so william nordhaus of yale university he's called the father of climate change economics he's been doing this kind of research since the seventy's he's a true pioneer in that field and then we have full roam of new york university he's more looking into innovation technological change and how this drives growth they've both been rumored to actually win the nobel prize for a couple of years now and to finally have and i guess it's inte

of the prize committee and who will tell us more about the research awarded today. is about's prize innovation, climate, and economic growth. [speaking in swedish] the royal soonish academy of sciencesard the prize in economic s liam de nordhaus for integrating climate change into long-run economic analysis and the other half to paul romer . tom: this is a wonderful announcement that we hear here and particularly first stanford university on innovation and the mysteries of growth. what is so wonderful about this award and both of these gentlemen have appeared with us over the years on bloomberg surveillance, is this word innovation and what technology is doing to our modern society. they have been way out front of trying to go beyond growth, to what doesrom technology do to our processes? francine: you are right. goes to research on climate and development. it was interesting to put it against what we saw last year. last year, the prize went to richard tyler, part of the team which talked about how people can be persuaded to make decisions which leaves them happier. i remember how much focus was on that research. spotlight on an important work that still needs to be done on climate
