What are the Nobel Prizes?
All scientists perform their research in order to uncover the mysteries of the world, broadening human knowledge. Breakthrough new discoveries can totally transform the way we understand our universe and ourselves. These discoveries are celebrated with Nobel Prizes, founded by Alfred Nobel in his will and awarded since 1901, to represent the highest level of recognition for research. In this Collection, we feature discoveries by Nobel Laureates in the fields of Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine and Economics.

We love the fact that you – our young readers – share with our Nobel Laureates the most important trait in the world: curiosity! Our Laureates consistently tell us that their happiness in their careers stems from finding something they were naturally curious about and pursuing that with dedicated research, until their curiosity led to a breakthrough. So let your curiosity run wild as you explore these fascinating articles – who knows where it could lead you?

Nobel Laureate Aaron Ciechanover, who discovered how proteins in cells are targeted for breakdown, told us: “Kids are wonderful, because they ask direct questions.” So let the articles published in this volume inspire you to keep asking questions all your life, as you will get fascinating answers to big questions when you read the Nobel Prize-winning work, and understand how the discoveries made affect all our lives!

Check out the 30 incredible Nobel articles in Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3 – with insights ranging from how to see objects beyond visible light, to how we can understand the brain and patterns of human decision making!
