Every year, the bookies odds predict who might pick up the highest prize in literature. Every year, they're completely wrong.View on euronews

The prize was awarded to scientists who cracked the code of proteins. Hassabis and Jumper used artificial intelligence to predict the structure of proteins, one of the toughest problems in biology. Baker created computational tools to design novel proteins with shapes and functions that can be used in drugs, vaccines and sensors.

Two pioneers in the field of machine learning have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences honored John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”
