Physics follows on Tuesday. Chemistry follows on Wednesday. Thursday is the day for literature. The peace prize comes on Friday. Economics follows next Monday.
The prizes exist for 125 years. Alfred Nobel made the prizes. He was a scientist. The names are announced in October. The big party is in December. It is on the 10th of December. That is the day Alfred Nobel died. Last year scientists from the USA and Japan won. They studied the immune system.
