The Nobel Prize ceremony took place in Stockholm
The 2022 Nobel Prizes in Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology and Medicine and Economics took place in Stockholm. The award is traditionally held every year on December 10, on the day of the death of the founder of the awards, Alfred Nobel.
The 2022 Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics was awarded to former US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and American researchers Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybwig for "research on banks and financial crises."
French writer Annie Ernault has won the Nobel Prize in Literature. She received the award for "the boldness and surgical precision with which she exposes the origins, alienation and collective framework of personal memory."
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Frenchman Alain Aspe, American John Clauser and Austrian Anton Zeilinger for research in the field of quantum mechanics, in particular for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell's inequalities, and leading the way in creating the science of quantum information.
Swedish scientist Svante Paabo won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his study of the genetic basis of human evolution.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the American scientists Caroline Bertozzi and Barry Sharpless, as well as to the Dane Morten Meldal for the method of rapid synthesis of chemical compounds.
The Nobel Foundation announced that a record number of prize winners have gathered in the capital of Sweden this year. Stockholm was visited by at least 27 laureates, including those awarded in 2020 and 2021. In the previous two years, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Nobel Prize winners did not attend the celebrations.
