Anne L'Huillier, 2023 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, addresses the press at Lund University, Sweden, last Tuesday. <p>The Nobel Prize winners in science that were recently announced include two women. If that seems trivial to you, it’s because you don’t know the history of the 20th century, but let’s take this one step at a time. The two honored scientists are Katalin Karikó, <a href="https://english.elpais.com/health/2023-10-03/the-future-of-the-nobel-prize-winning-messenger-rna-technology.html" target="_blank">for the Covid vaccines</a> that have saved millions of lives, and Anne L’Huillier, for an acute look into the interior of the atom whose applications we cannot even imagine. It is true that the statistics are depressing. Karikó is only the 13th woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine since the award was founded in 1901, and L’Huillier is only the fifth to win <a href="https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2023-10-03/nobel-prize-in-physics-goes-to-three-scientists-who-explore-electron-dynamics.html" target="_blank">the Nobel Prize in Physics.</a> But it is also true that the trend is on the right track, because most of these researchers have been honored in recent years. Something is moving in Stockholm.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2023-10-05/women-of-science.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-08-01/barbies-japanese-distributor-apologizes-for-its-parent-companys-reaction-to-barbenheimer-memes.html Tue, 01 Aug 2023 16:54:19 GMT https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-08-01/barbies-japanese-distributor-apologizes-for-its-parent-companys-reaction-to-barbenheimer-memes.html AP Associated Press Warner Bros.

Grayscale versus bright pink. Nolan versus Gerwig. Two antithetical films force the viewer to choose between the adult drama of dispatches and ethical dilemmas and the escapist feminist fantasy. Despite the clichés about its testosterone levels, <i>Oppenheimer</i> is much more than a biopic about the American physicist (played by Cillian Murphy) who ended up becoming the father of the atomic bomb. The thriller also narrates his tortuous relationship with<a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-21/oppenheimer-who-is-who-in-christopher-nolans-biopic.html"> psychiatrist Jean Tatlock</a>, the most influential woman in Oppenheimer’s life, played by Florence Pugh. The young intellectual rebelled against the social conventions that restricted women at the time. Her early death is still the subject of theories and conspiracies today. Although many have tried to reduce her role to that of a mere mistress, the facts say otherwise. This is her tragic story.</p><img src="https://cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com/prisa/WURJSMEP6ZAY7H5ENPTPNQZIXE.jpg" width="1200" height="800" alt="Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy bring the couple to life in Christopher Nolan’s new film."></img><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-24/the-tragic-life-of-jean-tatlock-the-psychiatrist-who-rejected-oppenheimer.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-19/christopher-nolans-oppenheimer-review-a-bomb-and-its-fallout.html Wed, 19 Jul 2023 22:16:26 GMT https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-19/christopher-nolans-oppenheimer-review-a-bomb-and-its-fallout.html AP Associated Press This is Nolan’s most human-scaled film — and one of his greatest achievements This is Nolan’s most human-scaled film — and one of his greatest achievements Robert Oppenheimer Cillian Murphy Emily Blunt Matt Damon Robert Downey Jr. Florence Pugh Christopher Nolan Rodrigo Prieto Garea Universal Pictures (EFE) "Oppenheimer" Cillian Murphy playing J.

The Adriatic stretched out before John, Dora, and myself. Although our meetings were sporadic, we always liked each other. There were three topics in our conversations. Dora’s favorite was the political situation in Spain. John’s was my work on reactions between heavy cores. Mine was, avoiding as much as possible any delicate allusions, to inquire about some of the<a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-04-30/robert-oppenheimer-the-story-of-the-father-of-the-atomic-bomb.html" target="_blank"> intricacies of the Manhattan Project</a>, of which I knew John was one of the leading experts. John loosened up a bit at Dora’s blank stare and after a while of listening to him raptly, I asked the fatal question: “What was<a href="https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2023-07-18/the-real-oppenheimer-why-was-the-father-of-the-atomic-bomb-accused-of-working-with-the-soviets.html" target="_blank"> Robert Oppenheimer</a> like?” John’s everlasting smile was barely dulled, but Dora gave me a serious look, then smiled, got up and ruffled my hair before walking away. I apologized to John (Robert Huizenga) and was sorry to lose the company of his young wife, Dorothy Koeze.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-19/the-schizophrenia-intelligence-rage-and-delicacy-of-robert-oppenheimer.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p> https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-19/oppenheimer-stirs-up-conflicted-history-for-los-alamos-and-new-mexico-downwinders.html Wed, 19 Jul 2023 06:38:27 GMT https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-07-19/oppenheimer-stirs-up-conflicted-history-for-los-alamos-and-new-mexico-downwinders.html AP Associated Press Government officials chose the Trinity Test Site because it was remote, flat and had predictable winds Government officials chose the Trinity Test Site because it was remote, flat and had predictable winds Robert Oppenheimer Christopher Nolan Photo credit: Universal Pictures (EL PAÍS) OPPENHEIMER Cillian Murphy as J.

Robert Oppenheimer (right) with Albert Einstein in 1950. J. Robert Oppenheimer (right) with Albert Einstein in 1950. <p>There are several contenders for the uncomfortable title of father of the atomic bomb. It can be ascribed to <a href="https://english.elpais.com/news/albert-einstein/" target="_blank">Albert Einstein</a>, who wrote the most famous equation in history, E=mc2, in 1905, showing the world that a small amount of matter (m) could be transformed into an enormous amount of energy (E) when multiplied by the square of the speed of light (c2), a gigantic number. Or it might be attributed to Leo Szilard, the eccentric Hungarian physicist who visited Einstein on Long Island in 1939 and convinced him that the Nazis could get their hands on the Belgian Congo’s abundant uranium reserves. Or perhaps credit should go to Alexander Sachs, the Lehman Brothers economist who immediately understood that, if it was possible to design a weapon with the destructive power predicted by those physicists, the United States should build it. And, of course, there’s president <a href="https://english.elpais.com/news/franklin-delano-roosevelt/" target="_blank">Franklin Delano Roosevelt,</a> who took all of the above seriously and financed <a href="https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2022-04-26/roy-glauber-the-last-witness-to-the-manhattan-project.html" target="_blank">the Manhattan Project </a>to create the deadly device.</p><p><a href="https://english.elpais.com/culture/2023-04-30/robert-oppenheimer-the-story-of-the-father-of-the-atomic-bomb.html" target="_blank">Seguir leyendo</a></p>
