The Nobel season is set to resume this Tuesday, with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm preparing to announce the recipient of the prestigious physics prize.

This announcement comes just a day after Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-American, and Drew Weissman, an American, were honored with the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their groundbreaking discoveries that paved the way for mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

In the previous year, the physics prize was awarded jointly to three scientists who demonstrated the remarkable phenomenon of particles maintaining a connection with each other, even when separated—a concept once met with skepticism. Today, this phenomenon is being explored for potential real-world applications, including information encryption.

Following the physics prize announcement, the Nobel season will continue with the chemistry prize presentation on Wednesday, and the literature prize will be revealed on Thursday, as reported by the AP.

Friday will bring the highly anticipated announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, with the economics award to follow on October 9.

Each of these prestigious awards carries a monetary prize of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million), sourced from the endowment established by the prize's founder, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, who passed away in 1896. This year, the prize money has been increased by 1 million kronor due to the decreased value of the Swedish currency.

Laureates are cordially invited to receive their awards at ceremonies held on December 10, commemorating the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.

Notably, the distinguished Nobel Peace Prize ceremony takes place in Oslo, in accordance with Nobel's wishes, while the remaining award ceremonies occur in Stockholm
