The value of a good problem just went up a notch. New Scientist writes that the Molecular Frontier Foundation just announced "a Nobel for children":

Starting this May, the prize will be awarded annually to an equal number of girls and boys from around the world for posing the most penetrating and insightful questions related to molecular science, which encompasses everything from physics and chemistry to physiology and medicine.

I wonder why the prize is limited to children. Are we giving up on adults?
