2023 Nobel Prize winners announced

The 2023 Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and economics were presented to their recipients at a ceremony held at the Stockholm Concert Hall in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Prof. Pierre Agostini, Prof. Dr. Ferenc Krausz, and Prof. Anne L'Huillier for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Aleksey Yekimov for their work on the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.

The Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Norwegian author Jon Fosse for his innovative plays and prose that give voice to the unsayable. Fosse was recorded as the first Nobel Prize in Literature laureate to write in Nynorsk, one of the two written forms of the Norwegian language.

The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Claudia Goldin for her research on women's labor market outcomes.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WAS AWARDED TO IRANIAN MOHAMMADI

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded last October at a ceremony in Oslo, the capital of Norway, to Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in Iran and her struggle to promote human rights and freedom for all.

The award was accepted on behalf of Mohammadi—who has been arrested 13 times, convicted 5 times, sentenced to a total of 31 years in prison, and is currently incarcerated—by her children, Kiana and Ali Rahmani.
