Gravitational Waves (引力波) Scientist Albert Einstein thought of the idea of gravitational waves more than 100 years ago. But it was in September that people finally found them by using LIGO . Three US scientists, Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne, won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics because of their discovery of gravitational waves which allow scientists to look at the space in a new way.

Clock in your body Have you ever heard of the word” biological clock”? For many years, people have known there is a clock inside plants, animal and humans. However, nobody knows how this clock actually works. In the 1980s, three US scientists , Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young, found a gene(基因) that controls the clock. They found the biological clock influences people’s sleep, body temperature and so on, and the environment also influences the clock.
