Physics was the prize category that Alfred Nobel mentioned first in his 1895 will. In the late nineteenth century, many scientists considered physics to be the foremost of the sciences ‒ perhaps even Nobel himself. His own research was closely related to physics. Since 1901, Nobel Prize laureates in physics have been selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
On 8 October, at no earlier than 11:45, we will find out who will be added to the 225-name list of physics laureates. Would you like to experience this exciting moment with us at the Nobel Prize Museum? Every day we will live-stream when each Nobel Prize committee announces who will be awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in its field. Invited experts will help us understand what achievements are being rewarded and what this may mean for the future.
