Nobel Prizes is a complete, searchable database of every Nobel Prize ever awarded — from Marie Curie's 1903 Physics prize to the most recent laureates across all six categories. Whether you're fact-checking, doing academic research, or just satisfying curiosity, it gives you instant access to winners, motivations, and biographical details.
The database covers Physics, Chemistry, Medicine/Physiology, Literature, Peace, and Economics. You can search by person name, filter by year, or browse an entire category at once. Each result includes the prize motivation — the official reason the award was given — alongside birth information and career context.
What you can do
- Search laureates by name (e.g. find every Nobel Prize winner named Curie)
- Filter by category to list all Physics or Peace prize winners
- Browse all prizes awarded in a specific year across every category
- Get full prize motivations alongside biographical details
Who it's for
Students, journalists, educators, researchers, and anyone who needs reliable historical information about Nobel Prize recipients. Useful for fact-checking news stories, building trivia content, or powering educational tools.
How to use it
- Use laureates when you know who won — search by name or narrow by category and year
- Use prizes when you want to see all winners in a given year or across a category
- Combine category codes (phy, che, med, lit, pea, eco) with a year to pinpoint a specific award
- Omit all filters to get the most recent prizes across all categories
Getting started
No setup required — the database is fully open and updated after each October announcement.
