Germany researchers win Nobel Medicine
Scientists Petter Hegemann, Georg Nagel, and Karl Daisroth received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2026 for their discoveries related to light-controlled ion channels, known as optogenetics. Their research on green algae contributed to the identification and description of retinal proteins that are light-activated ion channels, enabling precise control over multiple cells through light signals. This technique is now used globally in medical and scientific research, especially in neuroscience studies, where it allows for the activation of specific nerve cells to better understand brain functions and neurological and psychiatric disorders.
