Alfred Nobel

Swedish businessman Alfred Nobel wrote in his will that the Peace Prize would be awarded to a five-member committee elected by Norway's Storting (Parliament). The Nobel Prize was nominated as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1884 and ordered that the physics and chemistry awards be awarded annually by the Swedish Academy, that physical and medical achievements be awarded by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and the books by the Academy in Stockholm and that the award is recognized by the Peace Committee of the Supreme Law Council of Norway.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences decides on awards in physics, chemistry, and economics, the Swedish Royal Carolingian Institute of Medicine and Surgery determines the prize for medicine or physiology, the Academy selects literature, and the Norwegian parliamentary committee nominates the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1968, the Nobel Prize in Economics was founded by the National Bank of Sweden (Sverige Riksbank) and was awarded in 1969. Driven by embarrassing events and thought to be remembered, Nobel set aside his legacy to create the Nobel Prize. honoring men and women for outstanding achievements in physics and chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace work.

In 1901 the first Nobel Prize for Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Books was presented at Stockholm in Sweden and the Peace Prize was held in Oslo, Norway. Nobel used his immense fortune to present the Nobel Prize, now known as the world's most prestigious award. In 1901 the Nobel Prize was awarded for Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Books in Stockholm, and the Peace Prize was awarded in Kristiania, Oslo.

While Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Swedish dynamite and other explosives, gave a public reason for his creation of the first Nobel Prize, it is believed that he became morally responsible for the dangerous use of his invention during the war. Although we associate the Nobel Peace Prize with the World Peace, Science and Literature Awards, Alfred Nobel has been described by the media as "an angel of death." Key figures Alfred Nobel created the Nobel Prize for the wealth he had accumulated in the explosive business.

The strongest explosive device, dynamite, was a chemical formula for nitroglycerine, invented in 1867 by Alfred Nobel (1833-1896). Nobel and his parents returned to Sweden from Russia, where they devoted themselves to researching explosives that were safe enough to make nitrogen glycerine. Following the successful factory of St.

Alfred Nobel (October 21, 1833 - 10- December 1896) was a Swedish chemist, engineer, businessman, and philanthropist. But he spent most of his adult life inventing powerful explosives, writing poems and plays, and fighting for world peace. Alfred Nobel, a man who created, was a Finnish-Swedish chemist, inventor, and industrialist who started building marine mines and military equipment in his father's industry, but he did his best to destroy high-profile explosives.

In Alfred Nobel's will, he donated nine percent of his wealth to the annual scientific, literary, and peace awards that will be offered in his name. After reading the history of the premature burial of Alfred Bernhard Nobel for the profit of selling arms, Alfred Nobel donated his fortune directly to the Nobel Prize Center. After studying and writing corpses, I created the Nobel Peace Prize, Chemistry, Physics, Medicine, and Literature.

The awarding of prizes in chemistry and physics was a clear one in Nobel's vision, but the peace prize was not so vivid. Noble's aim was to rebuild his legacy, and if successful, his name would be in line with the prize, just as he had been with explosive technology. On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his will at a Swedish and Norwegian club in Paris, in which he placed his vast fortune to present the Nobel Prize, which was to be awarded to the nations.

Chemist Ragnar Sohlman (1870-1948) who worked with Alfred Nobel at his laboratory in San Remo, Italy, was instrumental in establishing the Nobel Foundation, organizing its collaboration with award-winning institutions, and from 1929 to 1946 served as Executive Director of the Foundation.

In addition to his generosity and prize for the Nobel Prize, his life history suggests that he would have preferred to be remembered as the man who invented dynamite. In 1968, Sweden's largest bank, Server Riksbank, celebrated its 300th anniversary by donating a large sum of money to the Nobel Foundation which established the sixth economic prize in honor of Alfred Nobel. It also served as an opportunity to reflect on the remarkable and controversial history of the Award, which began with its invention by the Swedish inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel, who died in 1948.

Alfred Nobel was a scientist himself, along with members of his family, who developed and produced dynamite, explosive capsules, detonators, and ballistics. Contact with Ascanio Sobrero, the founder of nitroglycerin - a chemical liquid - contributed to Noble's work in controlling the distribution of explosives, which led to the development of Nobel dynamite. A portable detonator, consisting of a wooden plug containing large amounts of nitrogen nitroglycerin in a metal container, was patented in 1864 and appointed Nobel as the inventor, opening the way for the wealth he would accumulate as the first Mughal in the explosives industry.
