The Nobel Prize Winners Since 1901 To 2023

...

The Nobel Prize is a group of five annual honors given by the Nobel Foundation to people and organizations that have distinguished themselves by advancing humanity. The prizes are given out in the categories of literature, peace, physiology or medicine, physics, and chemistry. The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was created in 1968, and the Nobel Foundation will also oversee its administration.

The Nobel Prizes are frequently cited as the highest honors offered in their respective areas. Every year on December 10—the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's passing—prize ceremonies are held. Each winner (referred to as a "laureate") receives a diploma, a monetary prize, and a green gold medal with a 24 carat gold plating. 

The Nobel Prize will be worth 11,000,000 SEK as of 2023. The Nobel Peace medal can be given to organizations with more than three members, but no medal may be shared by more than three people. Nobel Prizes are not given posthumously, although if a recipient passes away before receiving one, the prize is nevertheless presented.

Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, engineer, and industrialist best known for developing dynamite, founded the Nobel Prizes. In his will, Nobel specified that his wealth be used to establish a number of prizes that would be given to individuals who had contributed the "greatest benefit to humankind" in the year prior. In 1901, the first Nobel Prizes were given out.

Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Nelson Mandela, and Malala Yousafzai are just a few of the notable individuals who have received Nobel Prizes over the years. Organizations like the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross have also received the honors.

The Nobel Prizes honor human achievement and serve as a reminder of the ability of both people and groups to have a positive impact on the world.
