Number of Nobel Prize laureates in physics from 1901 to 2024, by nationality
The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded 118 times to 227 Nobel laureates between 1901 and 2024. It should be noted that a Nobel Prize can be awarded to several participants in a research team. In such cases, all winners of a research group have been counted, since everyone of them is a Nobel Laureate. In general, the award of a Nobel prize goes to a group of no more than three researchers. In exceptional cases it may occur, that more than one research achievement in a specific field is honored with a Nobel Prize in one year. However, this is the exception. In such a case, the prize money is divided. These winners are also referred to as "Nobel Laureate". Russia and the Soviet Union have been combined.
