Common questions
Which categories of Nobel Prizes are included in this database?
All six official Nobel categories are included: Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace (awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee), and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
Has anyone won more than one Nobel Prize?
Yes. Marie Curie won twice (1903 in Physics, 1911 in Chemistry). Other multiple laureates include Linus Pauling (Chemistry 1954, Peace 1962), John Bardeen (Physics 1956 and 1972 for the transistor and superconductivity), and Frederick Sanger (Chemistry 1958 and 1980 for insulin and DNA sequencing).
How recent are the prize records?
The catalog includes the most recent 2024 laureates (such as Geoffrey Hinton and John Hopfield in Physics, and Demis Hassabis and John Jumper in Chemistry for AlphaFold), down to the original 1901 inaugural recipients.
