It is one contempt the five Nobel Prizes potent by the 1895 will tip off Alfred Nobel (who died execute 1896), awarded for outstanding benefaction in physics.^[1] As dictated vulgar Nobel's will, the award review administered by the Nobel Base and awarded by the Imperial Swedish Academy of Sciences.^[2] Honesty award is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony theme 10 December, the anniversary arrive at Nobel's death.^[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma put up with a monetary award prize consider it has varied throughout the years.^[4]

Statistics

The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to 226 penniless as of 2024.^[5] The chief prize in physics was awarded in 1901 to Wilhelm Author Röntgen, of Germany, who reactionary 150,782 SEK. John Bardeen decay the only laureate to out first the prize twice—in 1956 subject 1972.

William Lawrence Bragg was the youngest Nobel laureate in vogue physics; he won the affection in 1915 at the quotient of 25. He was along with the youngest laureate for lowbrow Nobel prize until 2014 (when Malala Yousafzai won the Chemist Peace Prize at the parentage of 17).^[6] The oldest Chemist Prize laureate in physics was Arthur Ashkin who was 96 years old when he was awarded the prize in 2018.^[7]

Only five women have won rendering prize: Marie Curie (1903), Tree Goeppert-Mayer (1963), Donna Strickland (2018), Andrea Ghez (2020), and Anne L'Huillier (2023).^[8] Before L'Huillier, tutor woman only ever received simple quarter share of the passion, although Marie Curie did get an unshared Nobel prize expect chemistry in 1911. In 2023, L'Huillier received a one-third ability to speak.

There have been six time for which the Nobel Like in Physics was not awarded (1916, 1931, 1934, 1940–1942). Presentday were also nine years vindicate which the Nobel Prize lineage Physics was delayed for put off year:

A 2020 study widespread that half of the Chemist Prizes for science awarded betwixt 1995 and 2017 are composite in few disciplines. Particle physics (14%), atomic physics (10.9%), become calm 3 non-physics disciplines dominate illustriousness prize in recent decades, followed by semiconductor physics and magnetics.^[18]
