[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The University of California made history this week, as its faculty and alumni won five Nobel Prizes across medicine, physics and chemistry — the most ever awarded to a single institution in one year.

On Monday, Frederick Ramsdell, a UC San Diego and UCLA alumnus, shared the Nobel Prize in medicine for identifying immune system cells that prevent the body from attacking itself — a breakthrough that transformed understanding of autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes and lupus.

A day later, UC Berkeley emeritus professor John Clarke, UC Santa Barbara professor Michel H. Devoret and UC Santa Barbara emeritus professor John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in physics.

Then on Wednesday, UC Berkeley chemist Omar Yaghi received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for inventing “metal-organic frameworks,” materials capable of capturing carbon dioxide, storing hydrogen and even harvesting clean drinking water from desert air.

“There is nothing like this, it’s an astonishment,” Yaghi said of receiving the prize, calling it “a feeling you don’t have often.”

These awards bring the University of California’s total to 75 Nobel Prizes since 1934.
