The prize will be awarded to two researchers from the USA and Canada for the development of artificial neural networks.

Acclaimed physicist Sergey Gredeskul and his wife Victoria, also a physicist, immigrated to Israel from Ukraine. Sergey was once a leading figure in the theoretical field of disordered systems. Their rich world of knowledge and culture was abruptly cut short when Hamas terrorists brutally murdered them in their home in Ofakim, southern Israel, on the morning of October 7, 2023.

After years of searching, researchers have confirmed the existence of a small planet orbiting Barnard’s Star, one of our closest stellar neighbors.

How can a bomb penetrate a layer of concrete or burrow deep into the ground before detonating? It involves a combination of advanced physics, some chemistry, and quite a bit of technology.
