Awards for the Nobel Prize Winners in Physics :

The Nobel Prize in Physics  is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists in the various fields of 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. As dictated by Nobel’s will, the award is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded by a committee that consists of five members elected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The award is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on December 10th, the anniversary of Nobel’s death. Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award prize that has varied throughout the years.
The first Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 1901 to Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, of Germany, who received  150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice—in 1956 and 1972. Maria Skłodowska-Curie also won two Nobel Prizes, for physics in 1903 and chemistry in 1911.
