Nobel laureate Peter Hegemann back in the spotlight

Original: peter hegemann

Peter Hegemann, the Berlin-based biophysicist who shared the 2012 Nobel Prize for the discovery of light-sensitive channel proteins, is drawing renewed attention. German media feature visits to his high-tech laboratory, while international outlets discuss optogenetics — the 'light switches for brain cells' he helped pioneer — in predictions for the 2026 Nobel Prizes.

Why now: Nobel season speculation about the 2026 prizes is reviving interest in past laureates and their fields.
