per his 1895 testament and are given to "those who,
during the preceding year, have conferred the
greatest benefit to humankind."

The first Nobel Prize was given in 1901, and since

then, it has been provided for physics, chemistry,
physiology/medicine, literature, and peace almost
every year.

In 1968, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic

Sciences was established and has been provided since
then by Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) in
memory of Alfred Nobel.

Alfred Nobel Alfred Nobel was a chemist, engineer, inventor, and
businessman, and he is remembered for creating the Nobel
Prize. He was born on October 21, 1833, in Stockholm,
Sweden, and died in San Remo, Italy, on December 10,
1896.

Nobel stipulated in his last will and testament that most of

his assets should go to a fund and that the interest earned
by that fund should be given out as annual prizes.
Nobel's most popular invention is dynamite, using
nitroglycerin, which he patented in 1867.
When the St. Gotthard Tunnel in the Swiss Alps was finished
in 1881 and dynamite was used extensively for the first
time, he gained worldwide fame.
In total, he had 355 patents, including a blasting cap and
smokeless gunpowder.
More than 20 countries had Nobel companies, and
approximately 90 factories worldwide produced explosives
of all types using his patents.
