The Nobel Prize, which is presented in six distinct fields—Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Economic Sciences, Physiology or Medicine, and Peace Prize—is one of the most prestigious and recognised honours. In honour of Swedish physicist Alfred Nobel, the Nobel Foundation established it in 1901. The Nobel Prize winners are referred to as "Laureates," and they get a gold medal, a certificate, and a monetary prize. The list of Nobel Prize 2022 Award winners is covered in this article.
