Americans Canadian win physics chemistry nobels Stockholm Sweden apr two americans and a Canadian won the Nobel prize in physics wednesday for finding the first evidence of quarks. An american also won the Nobel in chemistry for developing simpler ways to make Complex chemicals. Americans Jerome i. Friedman and Henry w. Kendall and Canadian Richard e. Taylor showed that protons and neutrons once thought to be fundamental particles a Ere made up of smaller components called quarks. Quarks Are now believed to be Basic building blocks of matter. American Elias James Corey won the prize in chemistry for research that simplified the production of plastics and other artificial fibres paints and dyes pesticides and drugs. The swedish Academy of sciences which awards both prizes said theories and methods developed by Corey a have contributed to the High standards of living and health and the longevity enjoyed. In the Western  each prize is Worth about $700,000. The Academy announced the chemistry prize after a Long discussion and voting that delayed the announcement for More than an hour. The Academy never discusses its deliberations. Winners Are chosen in Advance and the voting is usually a formality. Concerning the work by the physics laureates the Academy said a there was a repetition although at a deeper level of one of the most dramatic events in the history of physics the discovery of the nucleus of the atom. A their experiments showed definitively that there were smaller nuclear particles than protons and neutrons a said professor Cecelia Jaresko of the Academy. Friedman 60, of Chicago and Kendall 63, of Boston Are professors at the Massachusetts Institute of technology in Cambridge. Taylor 60, born in Medicine hat Alberta is a professor at californians Stanford University. The discovery was made during research begun in 1967 at Mit and Stanford using Stanford a linear accelerator an a atom smasher that produces High Speed collisions of subatomic particles to discern their prop erties and Structure. Friedman reached in fort Worth Texas said he was a very very overwhelmed at winning the Nobel. He said the research began with a study of protons a to our Surprise we found that the scattering 0r new trons from protons behaved in a Way that Sugg Ewd that there were Point like objects inside Little rights in Side a he said. A they were later identified As Beix compatible with there being  k it was the first expert Mertal evidence that irks existed and confirmed earlier theories Friedman said asked about the meaning of the research he a id it contributed to the understanding of a How nature  he added a one never knows what the application of Basic research will be. Knowing what the Structure of matter is ultimately has to have some effect on How Vou Model the entire Structure of  Corey 62, of Harvard University in Cambridge mass., has synthesized about 100 important Drupe and other natural products the Academy said. Coreys method of synthesizing chemicals is called Retro synthetic analysis. To make biological molecules in the Laboratory he analyses their Structure and works backward to identify simpler molecules he needs to construct them. A it is one of the prerequisites of our civilization a the Academy said of Coreys work. The Field of research has been rewarded with the Nobel prize seven times before. The Nobel prizes were endowed in the 1896 will of Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite. The physics and chemistry announcements were the last prizes awarded this year. This week soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev won the peace prize and americans Harry Markowitz Merton Miller and William Sharpe were awarded for their work in economics. Last week mexican poet and essayist Octavio Paz won the prize in literature and americans Joseph e. Murray and e. Donnall Thomas won the prize for Medicine. The prizes will be presented dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel a death. 3spanish truckers strike disrupts Supply flow m a or in $2nmn a a _ a of a in.
