When it comes to the Nobel Prize, we have to mention its founder, Alfred bernhard Nobel. As we all know, Nobel is a Swedish chemist, engineer, inventor, military equipment manufacturer and inventor of nitroglycerin explosive. He once owned a military factory and opened about 100 companies and factories in 20 countries on five continents, such as Europe and America, and accumulated huge wealth. In his will, he used most of his wealth to create the Nobel Prize. Artificial elements are named after Nobel.
But little known is that he won 355 patents for technological inventions in his life! I have to say that this is a huge number. Naturally, the Nobel Prize named after him had certain authority and appeal in the early days. In addition, "the inventor of explosives actually created a peace prize with his money." At the beginning of winning the prize, this news made a large number of people interested in Nobel.
Of course, the golden halo of the Nobel Prize only brought the initial reputation to the Nobel Prize. Since 190 1, awards have been given every year, and the Nobel Prize still holds an unshakable position among other awards today. I have to say that the management of the Nobel Foundation is really unique.
The Nobel Foundation attached great importance to this selection, organized an authoritative jury and set up a strict evaluation mechanism. With clear goals and strong pertinence, it was recognized by European and American powers from the beginning, and finally elected a famous winner and gained prestige.
Starting from 190 1, the jury collects recommendations from the international scientific community every year to avoid being ridiculed for choosing the wrong candidate. Each award has a five-member committee, which collects and judges thousands of nominations. After careful pruning, the committee handed a few results to the Swedish Academy of Royal Sciences (in charge of chemistry and physics awards) or karolinska institutet (in charge of physiology or medicine awards), and they finally decided on this year's awards.
This systematic approach will enable the Committee to clearly feel the ideas of the scientific community, while allowing Committee members to be as honest as possible when formulating selection criteria. Moreover, the evaluation results should be kept confidential for 50 years, and Committee members can write down their true thoughts without worrying about others seeing them.
Earlier, Nobel Prize-winning inventions could be regarded as a benchmark in the scientific community, and Nobel Prize-winning scientists were also outstanding in the industry. When people think of the Nobel Prize, they will think of Einstein, Heisenberg, Madame Curie and Schrodinger, the greatest masters in history. Will be associated with the greatest ideas in history, such as quantum mechanics and genetics; Will be associated with the greatest inventions in history, such as diodes, atomic bombs and nuclear magnetic resonance. These super-great scientists frequently appear in physical chemistry textbooks, and the reputation of the winners gives the Nobel Prize a halo and further establishes the authority of the Nobel Prize.
