Beyond recognizing the laureates’ inspirations from condensed-matter physics and statistical mechanics, the prize celebrates interdisciplinarity. At its core, this prize is about how elements of physics have driven the development of computational algorithms to mimic biological learning, impacting how we make discoveries today across STEM.

Seems like a pretty extreme flex, I'm worried it'll snap.

If they award a Nobel for materials science, this should win.
