YangZhengNing and LiZhengDao are lucky. It is the envy of not only won them the Nobel Prize, is even more envious of their work is amazing in a short period of time to win the Nobel Prize Committee recognized from the award-winning paper published only a year.

One year to receive the Nobel Prize, which it would be a miracle. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Nobel Prize winners that they have not so lucky.

Gherman such as the Nobel Prize, the international physics community have been an article believes that this is more than six years, and so on. Therefore, in 1969, the Nobel Committee announced the result, physicists have shown no particular enthusiasm for the gesture hailed as 6 years we have always thought that "this year's Nobel Prize should be awarded Gherman."

2056 is still waiting for a comparatively short. Roentgen, discovered in 1895 on the X-ray, the only winners in 1901; Becquerel, discovered natural radioactivity in 1896, before winning in 1903; in 1902, Rutherford discovered a series of radioactive elements, in 1908 before winning; Alvarez, in 1960 found that elementary particles of the resonance phenomenon, before winning in 1968; Schrodinger, in 1926 set up quantum mechanics, the only winners in 1933 ... ...

10-year wait for eight years, also abound. If Lantos, in 1912 found that a third of thermodynamics theorem, 8 years after the Nobel Prize in Chemistry; Bohr, in 1913 put forward the atomic structure of the quantum theory of the track until 1922 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics; Lawrence, In 1931 created the first cyclotron, the only winner in 1939; Seaborg, in 1941 to prove the existence of plutonium, in 1951 before winning ... ...

Waiting for more than a decade, two decades and even 30 years is not rare. If South Africa's yellow fever research scientist Max wait more than 20 years, received the Nobel Prize in 1951. The winner of the Prize in Physics Pauli, the late Nobel Prize is good news. He made the award-winning paper from the award-winning, not the usual interval of 21 years; from Koch discovered the TB bacteria, such as the award-winning 23 years; discovery of the cosmic rays Husband, wait 25 years before winning; bass waiting 29, in 1967, won the physics prize. In contrast, the worse Vries, waiting for more than half a century: in 1919 discovered the bee dance circle dance, jump in 1925 found that Yao Wei Dance until it received the Nobel Prize in 1973; as early as 1931, " Thermodynamics fourth theorem, "discoverer of the road and Latin America published a paper on Sri Lanka, but until the age of 40 were accepted. 37 years after 1968, the Nobel Committee awarded him the Prize in Chemistry; Rous in 1911 announced that the tumor was caused by a virus found in the great, but did not Nobel Prize Committee has been. Rouse lead until the 85-year-old award-winning before.

Landesitan, 23-year-old received a doctoral degree, 33-year-old discovered the ABO blood group of human, it is 1901. Until 1930, that is, 29 years later, the Nobel Committee before Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded Landesitan, when he had 62 years of age. Bonn as early as 28 years ago on the award-winning paper published (on the wave function of the statistical analysis). When he was winning when the excitement of this thought-provoking for some of the words: "an overwhelming majority of physicists admit that I have the statistical analysis of the wave function, but also does not recognize, such as Pronk, Einstein, Schrodinger, and other well-known scientists Therefore, I wait for the results of the study took 28 years to receive the Nobel Prize. "In order to avoid controversy among scientists, the Nobel Prize Committee has adopted a delayed award.

1946 Chemistry Prize winner Sumner, the 1953 winner of the Hermann Prize in Chemistry, Physics Prize winner in 1970 Alfven, and so have gone through this long waiting period.
