　　BATTLIN' BRAINIACS

Physics winners George Smoot of U.C.-Berkeley and John Mather of NASA have long feuded over discoveries they made while both were at NASA trying to prove the Big Bang theory. Mather was infuriated when Smoot, in 1992, announced some results of their collaborative research in what Mather alleged was a grab for solo glory. But after they won the prize last week, the pair seemed buddy-buddy again. Nothing brings people together like shiny gold medals and a check for $1.4 million.

不和的天才

物理學獎得主加利福尼亞大學伯克利分校的喬冶·斯穆特和美國國家航空航天局(NASA)的約翰·馬瑟長期交惡，起因是兩人在NASA共事期間爲證明“大爆炸”理論而作出的研究成果。1992年，斯穆特公佈了他們合作研究的一些成果，馬瑟大爲惱火，指責他想獨佔榮耀。但上週獲獎後，這對搭檔似乎又變得親密起來。沒有什麼比光芒四射的金質獎牌和140萬美元的支票更容易讓人和解的了。

　　RNA! RNA!

A big winner this year was research on RNA--the genetic "messenger" that transcribes DNA code so it can be made into proteins. Work in this area earned the chemistry prize for Stanford

University's Roger Kornberg and the medicine prize for Andrew Fire, also of Stanford, and the University of Massachusetts' Craig Mello. Studying RNA is important because a full understanding of its functions could lead to therapies and cures for diseases linked to defective genes.

RNA! RNA!

RNA研究是今年的大贏家。RNA(核糖核酸)是轉錄DNA(脫氧核糖核酸)密碼以便合成蛋白質的基因“信使”，該領域的`工作爲斯坦福大學的羅傑·科恩伯格贏得了化學獎，爲同樣來自斯坦福的安德魯·法爾和馬薩諸塞大學的克雷格·梅洛贏得了生理學或醫學獎。研究RNA非常重要，因爲充分了解其功能可能幫助我們找到基因缺陷疾病的治療方法。
