Last year the prize was awarded to three scientists - Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi - whose work has helped to explain and predict complex forces of nature, thereby expanding our understanding of climate change.Swedish scientist Svante Paabo receiving the award in medicineThey continue with chemistry on Wednesday and literature on Thursday. The 2022 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday and the economics award on Oct. 10.
