The Nobel Prize is an international award that is bestowed on individuals and on groups of up to 3 people for achievements in the fields of chemistry, physics, medicine or physiology, literature, and for services to peace.
The award, considered to be the most prestigious in its respective field [1], was established and funded by Swedish chemist, Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, and has been awarded annually since 1901 by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden [2].
2017's Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine were Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young "for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm".
