Nobel Prizes 2025
The 2025 Nobel season handed out its six prizes to quantum physicists, materials chemists, immunologists, a Hungarian novelist, Venezuela's opposition leader and a trio of growth economists, each award worth 11 million Swedish kronor. No laureate was of Indian origin this year, though the University of California ran up a record haul across the science categories. Here is the full slate on one card, with the exact reason each prize was given.
