Nobel prize people
 

Swedish born Nobel was a naturally gifted scientist who discovered dynamite.

He didn't want to be remembered for something destructive, so he asked that after his death in 1901,
six awards be given each year to people who had excelled, in chemistry, economic sciences, peace, physiology or medicine, literature and physics.

 

Winners are announced on December 10 each year - the anniversary of Nobel's death. Winners are known as ‘laureates’
