In science, the fields are agriculture, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, physics; and in arts, the prize rotates annually among architecture, music, painting and sculpture. The prize in each area consists of a diploma and a cash award of $100,000. The prize has been awarded since 1978 by the Wolf Foundation, which was established in 1976 by Dr. Ricardo Wolf (1887-1981), inventor, diplomat, and philanthropist, and his wife Francisca Subirana-Wolf (1900-1981), to promote science and art for the benefit of mankind.

There is no Nobel Prize in mathematics, and the most prestigious mathematical award is known as the Fields medal . In rough order of importance, other awards are the Wolf Prize of the Wolf Foundation of Israel, the Leroy P. Steele Prize of the American Mathematical Society, followed by the Cole Prizes in algebra and number theory, and the Delbert Ray Fulkerson Prize, all presented by the American Mathematical Society. The Clay Mathematics Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts (CMI) has named seven "Millennium Prize Problems," selected by focusing on important classic questions in mathematics that have resisted solution over the years. A $7 million prize fund has been established for the solution to these problems, with $1 million allocated to each. The problems consist of the Riemann hypothesis Hodge conjecture Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture , solution of the Navier-Stokes equations , formulation of Yang-Mills theory , and determination of whether NP-problems are actually P-problems SEE ALSO: Abel Prize Cole Prize Fields Medal Mathematics Contests ...

News for January 2004 Wolf prize goes to particle theorists 20 January 2004 Higgs independently came to the same conclusion as Brout and Englert and showed that the particles that carried the weak force acquired their mass through interactions with an all-pervasive field that is now known as the Higgs field, and that the interactions occurred via particles that are widely known as Higgs bosons. Although these particles have not yet seen in an experiment, many physicists believe that they will be observed when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) comes on-line at CERN in 2007.

News for January 2000 Neutrino pioneers win Wolf prize 21 January 2000 The 2000 Wolf Prize for physics has been awarded to Ray Davies of the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Masatoshi Koshiba of the University of Tokyo for their pioneering work in the field of neutrino astronomy. The prize, awarded by the Wolf Foundation in Israel, is often considered the most important prize in physics after the Nobel prize. Davis and Koshiba will be presented with the $100000 prize by the president of Israel in May. In 1967 Davis, then at the Brookhaven National Lab, built the first experiment to detect neutrinos produced by the Sun. Neutrinos only interact weakly with matter and are extremely difficult to detect. Davis's experiment, which consisted of 615 tonnes of dry-cleaning fluid in the Homestake gold mine in South Dakota, detected less than half the flux of neutrinos predicted by widely accepted models of the Sun. The results could only be explained if these models were wrong, or if the neutrino had mass. For 20 years Davis's detector was the world's only solar neutrino detector. Then, in 1987, Koshiba and colleagues started taking data with the Kamiokande detector, which was located 1000 metres underground in a lead and zinc mine.

Gray , the Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry and founding director of the Beckman Institute at California Institute of Technology. Gray is being recognized for pioneering work in bioinorganic chemistryspecifically, for contributions to unraveling novel principles of structure and long-range electron-transfer processes in proteins. Electron-transfer reactions in proteins provide the basis for energy production in cells of all living organisms. Yet "until Gray's work, little was known about the chemical factors that govern electron transfer in biological systems," the award panel notes. "It's really great to be recognized for work that was done with students and very close friends," Gray tells C&EN. "We've been collaborating on this work for years, and it has been a lot of fun. The recognition is icing on the cake for work that has been so enjoyable."

Zare has been selected to receive the 2005 Wolf Foundation Prize in Chemistry for "his ingenious applications of laser techniques for identifying complex mechanisms in molecules and their use in analytical chemistry." The $100,000 prize will be presented on May 22 by the president of Israel, Moshe Katsav, at a special ceremony at the Knesset (parliament) in Jerusalem. Asked for his reaction to the honor, Zare, 65, tells C&EN, "I am thrilled to be selected but also mindful that so many others are also well deservingso it is humbling." The Wolf Prize jury notes that in making "seminal contributions" to the theory and practice of both physical and analytical chemistry, Zare has "profoundly influenced developments in these two areas of science. He is an outstanding spokesman for science [and] has worked relentlessly and successfully for chemistry on the national and international stage." Zare's research "has taken chemistry to its limits," according to the Israel-based Wolf Foundation. He has used lasers to probe the details of how electrons distribute themselves in atoms and molecules and thus dictate their chemical properties. And he has applied high-resolution and ultrasensitive physical techniques to both chemical and biochemical analysis. Zare's work has generated an impressive collection of new spectroscopic tools for investigating chemical dynamics and studying biochemical processes.
