The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will announce the winners of the 2012 Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday, capping this year's science awards before the Nobel spotlight moves to literature and peace.
A French-American duo shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for inventing methods to observe the bizarre properties of the quantum world, research that has led to the construction of extremely precise clocks and helped scientists take the first steps toward building superfast computers.
A French-American duo shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for experiments on quantum particles that have already resulted in ultra-precise clocks and may one day help lead to computers many times faster than those in use today.
Recent winners of the Nobel Prize in physics, and their research, according to the Nobel Foundation:
Frenchman Serge Haroche and American David Wineland have won the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics.

A Frenchman and an American shared the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for inventing methods to peer into the bizarre quantum world of ultra-tiny particles, work that could help in creating a new generation of super-fast computers.
WHO WON?
"At this point I wouldn't recommend anybody buy stock in a quantum computing company ... but we're optimistic," he said.
At that time, it wasn't clear that trapping single atoms could help pave the way to superfast quantum computers, he said.
