The Nobel Prize recognises excellence in various fields, including Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences. It has been awarded annually since 1901.
Established by Alfred Nobel’s 1895 will, the prize embodies his vision of rewarding those whose achievements significantly impact society. Physics was the discipline that Alfred Nobel mentioned first in his 1895 will.
In his will, Nobel bequeathed his fortune to a fund that would reward the laureates. The Nobel Foundation, created to manage the funds, collaborates with several awarding bodies, including the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for Physics and Chemistry, Karolinska Institute for Medicine, Swedish Academy for Literature, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee for Peace.
On October 7, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet announced that the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine would be awarded jointly to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA and the role it plays in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
