The Nobel Prize in Physics is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by Alfred Nobel in 1895. It is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of physics.
The Nobel Prize in Physics can be awarded to individuals or a maximum of three people who have made the most important discovery or invention in the field of physics in the previous year. The discovery or invention must be of great benefit to mankind and have a significant impact on the field of physics.
The Nobel Prize in Physics is decided by a committee of five members chosen by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The committee receives nominations from qualified individuals, including previous Nobel Prize winners, professors of physics, and members of national academies of science. The committee then evaluates the nominations and makes their decision based on the criteria set by Alfred Nobel in his will.
The Nobel Prize in Physics is currently worth 9 million Swedish kronor, which is equivalent to approximately 1.1 million US dollars. The prize money is divided among the winners and can be shared by no more than three individuals.
According to the Nobel Foundation, individuals can only receive the Nobel Prize in Physics once in their lifetime. However, there have been some exceptions, such as Marie Curie, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics twice (in 1903 and 1911) and John Bardeen, who received it twice as well (in 1956 and 1972).
