Every year, the Nobel Prize for science, literature, peace, economics, and other outstanding contributions is given. Those who are aware of the news are naturally looking forward to the honor of the year.
Here is some wonderful information about your Nobel Prize and its winners today:

Three Nobel Laureates learned about their Nobel Prize while in prison. Each of them received the Nobel Prize for Peace.

Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov spends $ 4.7 billion to buy biologist James Watson's medal.
James Watson researches how DNA's spiral shape (double helix) is formed. But later Osmanov returned James' medal, and he did not take his money anymore. He said that he would be most happy if the money was spent on research work.
4) At the airport, apprehension
Brian Schmidt, a Nobel Laureate in Physics in 2011, was quick to pick up his gold medal at the airport. Brian was awarded this position for proving the existence of Dark Energy. "No matter how big you are, you have no salvation at the airport," he said.
