Nobel Prize for Physics: Who are the winners this year?

In Stockholm, the science community is eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Nobel Prize winners. On Tuesday, at the earliest at 11.45 a.m., the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences reveals the honors for this prestigious award. The Nobel Prize for Physics is one of the most important awards in science and brings honorable recognition for outstanding achievements in the field of physics.

The last prize for physics was awarded last year to the Hungarian researcher Ferenc Krausz, who works not only in Hungary, but also in Germany, more precisely in Garching near Munich. Together with the colleagues Pierre Agostini and Anne L’Huillier, Krausz was awarded for his groundbreaking experiments, which opened up new instruments for researching nuclear and molecular processes to mankind. This shows how internationally and collaborative research is today.

The history of Nobel Prices

The Nobel Prize, named after Alfred Nobel, the inventor of the dynamite, has been awarded since 1901. According to Nobel's will, the aim of these prices is to honor especially meritorious people in the individual categories. The award in the physics category is of particular importance because it was the first to mention Nobel in his will. However, it should be noted that many award winners are often only honored years after their significant discoveries, which does not always comply with Nobel's temporal requirement.

The award winners were already announced on Monday in the field of physiology or medicine. These awards went to US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun this year, who were honored for the discovery of the MicroRorna and their role in gene regulation. This shows how new discoveries in life -support sciences can revolutionize an overview of human genetic material and how it works.

Financial aspects of Nobel Prices

The value of the Nobel Prices this year is 11 million Swedish crowns, which corresponds to around 970,000 euros. This sum is divided among the winners if several winners are honored in one category. The ceremonial award ceremony traditionally takes place on December 10th, the death of Alfred Nobel's death - an event that is viewed with great respect by the scientific community and is often considered a festive highlight of the year.

Nobel prices are not only an award, but also an incentive for further research and developments that can ultimately improve people's lives. The announcement of this year's Nobel Prize winner is followed with great expectation, and the world of science hopes for innovative discoveries that will inspire future generations.
