Four scientists who won the Nobel Prize twice

India Today  

On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last testament and gave the largest share of his fortune to a series of prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace - the Nobel Prizes. The prizes were first awarded in 1901 Nobel Prize is regarded as the highest honour available in the fields of literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, peace and economics. If a Nobel Prize is the highest recognition for a scientist, being awarded twice is an extraordinary event that only four scientists have witnesses in their lives. Marie Curie Marie and Pierre Curie Polish scientist Marie Sklodowska Curie was the first person in history to accomplish the achievement of receiving the Nobel Prize twice. His first award, in 1954, was the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which recognized his research into the nature of Chemical bonding.
