The Nobel Prize is the first international award given yearly since 1901 for achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. The prize consists of a medal, a personal diploma, and a prize amount.
Annotation:
This site begins with articles about Physics, Chemistry and Medicine and lists of all Nobel laureates. Each year is a link to more detailed information about that year's winner and many of the presentation speeches before the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Sadly there is no search engine that would permit researchers to quickly find specific ideas and concepts. Additionally, more recent speaches are not included in this site (and the video versions do not come with a transcript). Links also provide more detailed information about winners and their theories. The page also provides information about Alfred Nobel and the history of the Nobel Prize.
