Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Giorgio Parisi

The Nobel Prize in Physics for the year 2021 has been awarded to Giorgio Parisi, Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems.

In particular:

to Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming

to Giorgio Parisi for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.

Congratulation from the Italian Physical Society.
We are very proud that such a high recognition has been given to an eminent Italian physicist.

Giorgio Parisi in the year 2002 has been awarded the Enrico Fermi Prize of the Italian Physical Society for his contributions to field theory and statistical mechanics, and in particular for his fundamental results concerning the statistical properties of disordered systems.
