STOCKHOLM: A maths theory powering computer image compression, an "invisibility cloak" or the science behind the James Webb Space Telescope are some achievements that could be honoured when the Nobel physics prize is awarded Oct 7.

The award, to be announced at 11.45am in Stockholm (5.45pm in Malaysia), is the second Nobel of the season, after the Medicine Prize was awarded on Oct 6 to a US-Japanese trio for research into the human immune system.
