The Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 has been to Roger Penrose “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity” and to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez “for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy”

The contribution made by Goodenough, Whittingham and Yoshino, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, is the discovery, 30 years ago now, that adding a lithium electrode enormously improves the performance of rechargeable batteries without significantly increasing production costs
