1895 On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his final will, dividing his greatest wealth to a series of awards - Nobel Prize . As Nobel stated in his will, part of it is dedicated to "the person who makes the most important discoveries or inventions in the field of physics."
Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to
Since 1901, a total of 112 Nobel Prize in Physics have been awarded. Among them, in 1916, 1931, 1934, 1940, 1941 and 1942, the Nobel Prize in Physics was absent 6 times. Why hasn’t the Nobel Prize in Physics been awarded in recent years?
Because Nobel Foundation 's charter stipulates: "If the works under consideration do not find the importance described in the first paragraph of the charter, the prize should be retained until the next year. Even if the prize is not awarded, the amount should be added to the fund amount. In addition, during the First World War and Second World War, the Nobel Prize was awarded fewer times.
Number of winners of the single Nobel Prize in Physics
was awarded 47 times to one winner.
was awarded 32 times to two winners.
was awarded 33 times to three winners.
Why is this? Because in the charter of the Nobel Foundation, it is stated that the prize amount is shared by two studies, the research can be completed by two to three people, and the researchers should be rewarded. But under no circumstances, the prize amount shall not be allocated to more than three people.
Nobel Prize winners in physics Total number of people
1901-2018, a total of 210 people were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, of which John Bading won twice.
The youngest winner of physics
To date, the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physics is Lawrence Prague , who was only 25 years old when he won the Nobel Prize with his father William Prague in 1915.

The oldest Nobel Prize winner in physics
The oldest Nobel Prize winner in physics is Arthur Ashekin , who was 96 years old when he won the prize in 2018.
The female winner of the Nobel Prize winner in physics
Among the 209 Nobel Prize winners in physics, 3 are women:
Nobel Prize winner in physics
1903 – Marie Curie (Madame Curie also won the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry)
1963 – Maria Goeppert-Mayer
Maria Goeppert-Mayer was 57 years old when she won the award. Most of the research work was done at her own expense
2018 – Donna Strickland (Sarcastic! She won the Nobel Prize in Physics, but she didn't even have a Wikipedia page)
The winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics multiple times
John Baden is the only one who has won the Nobel Prize in Physics twice.
Nobel Prize in Physics Couple winners
Marie Curie and Pierre Curie jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903.

Giants who missed the Nobel Prize in Physics
0 mentioned the "beads" of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Einstein is a name that cannot be escaped. The " Relativity " proposed by him shook the theoretical basis of Newton's physics, but unfortunately passed by the Nobel Prize for his failure to provide effective arguments in his lifetime, and eventually won the Nobel Prize for Physics for " photoelectric effect ".
"missed" the Nobel Prize. Also we are very familiar with Hawking . In 1974, he proposed a method to observe black holes through " Hawking radiating ", but because it was too advanced, it has not been confirmed yet and was not won by the Nobel Prize.
Chinese scientists who won the Nobel Prize in Physics
have won 12 Chinese in the history of the Nobel Prize. Among them, the Physics Prize is the field where Chinese people have won the most awards, and a total of 6 Chinese scientists have won the award.
1956, 31-year-old Chinese American Li Zhengdao and 35-year-old Yang Zhenning proposed the "Li-Yang Hypothesis" and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.
In 1976, Chinese-American scientist Ding Zhaozhong won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering J particles.
In 1997, Chinese American Zhu Diwen won the Nobel Prize in Physics for "inventing a method of cooling and capturing atoms with lasers."
1998, Chinese American Cui Qi won the Nobel Prize in Physics for explaining the special phenomenon of electron quantum fluid.
In 2009, British Chinese scientist Kao won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his breakthrough achievements in "relevant to the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication".
