The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2008 with one half to Yoichiro Nambu "for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics," and the other half jointly to Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa "for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature." Nambu's early work began a "paradigm shift" in particle theory in which we think of the "vacuum" not as a state of absolute nothingness but | 27

Protein trafficking is critical in neurons since neurons must orchestrate the movement of a plethora of discrete intracellular signaling proteins from the cell body to the ends of their axons, over distances that may span up to several meters. A problem in studying protein trafficking has been a lack of tools to visualize the movement of discrete proteins inside live neurons, in real time. An integrated understanding of endocytic trafficking at the level of single or small numbers of receptor complexes inside live cells is currently hampered by technical limitations. | 29
