The Nobel Prize in Physics ({{lang-sv|Nobelpriset i fysik}}) is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists in the various fields of [[Physics:Physics|physics]]. It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel (who died in 1896), awarded for outstanding contributions in physics.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alfred Nobel – The Man Behind the Nobel Prize |publisher=Nobel Foundation |url=http://nobelprize.org/alfred_nobel/ |access-date=29 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071025001741/http://nobelprize.org/alfred_nobel/ |archive-date=25 October 2007 |url-status=live }}</ref> As dictated by Nobel's will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Nobel Prize Awarders |publisher=Nobel Foundation |url=http://nobelprize.org/prize_awarders/ |access-date=29 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081015013145/http://nobelprize.org/prize_awarders/ |archive-date=15 October 2008 }}</ref> The award is presented in [[Place:Stockholm|Stockholm]] at an annual ceremony on 10 December, the anniversary of Nobel's death.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies |publisher=Nobel Foundation |url=http://nobelprize.org/award_ceremonies/ |access-date=29 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080822184717/http://nobelprize.org/award_ceremonies/  |archive-date=22 August 2008}}</ref> Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award prize that has varied throughout the years.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Nobel Prize |publisher=Nobel Foundation |url=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/ |access-date=29 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081015012957/http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/ |archive-date=15 October 2008 |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Statistics ==
The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to 224 individuals as of 2023.<ref>{{cite web |date=2023-10-03 |title=All Nobel Prizes in Physics |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/lists/all-nobel-prizes-in-physics/ |access-date=2023-10-03 |publisher=The Nobel Foundation}}</ref> The first prize in physics was awarded in 1901 to [[Biography:Wilhelm Röntgen|Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen]], of Germany, who received 150,782 SEK. [[Biography:John Bardeen|John Bardeen]] is the only laureate to win the prize twice—in 1956 and 1972.

[[Biography:Lawrence Bragg|William Lawrence Bragg]] was the youngest Nobel laureate in physics; he won the prize in 1915 at the age of 25. He was also the youngest laureate for any Nobel prize until 2014 (when [[Biography:Malala Yousafzai|Malala Yousafzai]] won the Nobel Peace Prize at age 17).<ref>{{cite web |title=Why Nobel-Winning Scientists are Getting Older |url=https://priceonomics.com/why-nobel-winning-scientists-are-getting-older/ |website=Priceonomics |date=10 April 2015 |access-date=6 October 2022 |quote=Though Bragg is no longer the youngest Nobel Laureate of all time {{Emdash}} Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize this past year, at age 17 {{Emdash}} he is still the youngest in the sciences. |archive-date=11 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011221821/https://priceonomics.com/why-nobel-winning-scientists-are-getting-older/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The oldest Nobel Prize laureate in physics was [[Biography:Arthur Ashkin|Arthur Ashkin]] who was 96 years old when he was awarded the prize in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |date=6 October 2022 |title=Facts on the Nobel Prize in Physics |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/facts/facts-on-the-nobel-prize-in-physics/ |access-date=6 October 2022 |publisher=The Nobel Foundation |archive-date=17 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917051337/https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/facts/facts-on-the-nobel-prize-in-physics/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Only five women have won the prize: [[Biography:Marie Curie|Marie Curie]] (1903), [[Biography:Maria Goeppert-Mayer|Maria Goeppert-Mayer]] (1963), [[Biography:Donna Strickland|Donna Strickland]] (2018), Andrea Ghez (2020), and [[Biography:Anne L'Huillier|Anne L'Huillier]] (2023).<ref>{{cite web |title=Nobel Prize Awarded Women |url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/lists/nobel-prize-awarded-women/ |access-date=2023-10-03 |publisher=The Nobel Foundation}}</ref> Before L'Huillier, each woman only ever received a quarter share of the prize, although Marie Curie did receive an [[Biography:List of Nobel laureates in Chemistry|unshared Nobel prize in chemistry in 1911]]. In 2023 L'Huillier received a one-third share.

There have been six years for which the Nobel Prize in Physics was not awarded (1916, 1931, 1934, 1940–1942). There were also nine years for which the Nobel Prize in Physics was delayed for one year:

* The 1914 prize awarded to [[Biography:Max von Laue|Max von Laue]] was announced only in November 1915.<ref name=N1914/>
* The Prize was not awarded in 1917, as the Nobel Committee for Physics decided that none of that year's nominations met the necessary criteria, but was awarded to [[Biography:Charles Glover Barkla|Charles Glover Barkla]] in 1918 and counted as the 1917 prize.<ref name=N1917/>
* This precedent was followed for the 1918 prize awarded to [[Biography:Max Planck|Max Planck]] in 1919,<ref name=N1918/>
* the 1921 prize awarded to [[Biography:Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]] in 1922,<ref name=N1921>{{cite web |title=The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 |publisher=Nobel Foundation |url=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/index.html |access-date=23 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081017151250/http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1921/index.html |archive-date=17 October 2008 |url-status=live }}</ref>
* the 1924 prize awarded to [[Biography:Manne Siegbahn|Manne Siegbahn]] in 1925,<ref name=N1924/>
* the 1925 prize awarded to [[Biography:James Franck|James Franck]] and Gustav Hertz in 1926,<ref name=N1925/>
* the 1928 prize awarded to Owen Richardson in 1929,<ref name=N1928/>
* the 1932 prize awarded to [[Biography:Werner Heisenberg|Werner Heisenberg]] in 1933,<ref name=N1932/> and
* the 1943 prize awarded to [[Biography:Otto Stern|Otto Stern]] in 1944.<ref name=N1943/>

Ioannidis ''et al.'' reported that half of the Nobel Prize for science awarded between 1995 and 2017 are clustered in few disciplines. [[Physics:Particle physics|Particle physics]] (14%), [[Physics:Atomic physics|atomic physics]] (10.9%), and 3 non-physics disciplines are dominating the prize in recent decades. And then semiconductor physics and magnetics are the next most honoured physics disciplines.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Ioannidis|first1=John|last2=Cristea |first2=Ioana-Alina|last3=Boyack|first3=Kevin|date=29 July 2020|title=Work honored by Nobel prizes clusters heavily in a few scientific fields|journal=PLOS ONE|volume=15|issue=7|pages=e0234612|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0234612|pmid=32726312|pmc=7390258|bibcode=2020PLoSO..1534612I|doi-access=free}}</ref>
