Nobel XXXVII The Second Nobel Century: What is still to be discovered?

This year we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Foundation by reflecting on the great discoveries, works of art, and accomplishments in the pursuit of peace that, in the words of Alfred Nobel's will, "conferred the greatest benefit on mankind" and led to the award of a Nobel Prize.

"What's next to come?" "What can science possibly discover in the next century?" Or, "What are the really pressing global issues that need to be addressed in the next century?" "Can science and technology be counted upon to improve conditions as they did in the last century?" Or, if you're on the pessimistic side, "Can we survive the next century without harming ourselves with the discoveries made in the last century?"

These questions were discussed by a distinguished panel composed of five Nobel Prize laureates, the secretary general of the Nobel Foundation, the longtime editor of arguably the world's foremost science journal, and the head science writer of one of America's premier newspapers
