Researchers have positioning system, which can be compared with the cord embedded in GPS, helping to orient in space. The work of scientists have shown how nerve cells of the brain perform complex intellectual process, and build on human space in your brain, which is of great importance for the understanding of many diseases.
The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2014 was awarded Isamu Akasaki (Japan, 1929), Hiroshi Amano (Japan, 1960) and Shuji Nakamura (USA, 1954). This year's laureates will receive the award "for his invention of new energy efficient and environmentally friendly source of light - blue light-emitting diode (LED)".

Pioneering scientists is that light microscopy, they rise to the level nanoizmereny. Due to the fact that today is called nanoscopy, scientists can visualize the path of single molecules inside living cells, allowing you to see the behavior of, for example, proteins in diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's.
