Why This Year’s Nobel Prizes Matter
 

- The Medicine Prize underscores fundamental progress in understanding how the immune system avoids harming our own body — foundational for autoimmune disease research and immunotherapies.
 

- The Physics Prize highlights advances in quantum mechanics at macroscopic scales — paving the way for quantum computing, sensors, and new technologies.
 

- The Chemistry Prize shows how innovative materials (MOFs) can solve real-world problems — from gas storage to catalysis to environmental applications — opening new frontiers in materials science.
