Lists of science and technology awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of notable awards for specific areas of science and technology. Typically these lists give the country of the sponsoring organization, the award name, sponsor name and a description of the award criteria. Some of the awards have broad scope, or cover the intersection of different disciplines, so an award may appear in more than one list. A list of general awards for science and technology is followed by the lists of more specific awards.

In July 2020 scientists reported that work honored by Nobel Prizes clusters in only a few scientific fields with only 36/71 having received at least one Nobel Prize of the 114/849 domains science could be divided into according to their DC2 and DC3 classification systems. Five of the 114 domains were shown to make up over half of the Nobel Prizes awarded 1995–2017 (particle physics [14%], cell biology [12.1%], atomic physics [10.9%], neuroscience [10.1%], molecular chemistry [5.3%]).[1][2]
This concentration of awards may be partially due to the fact that major scientific prizes, such as the Nobel Prize, are often awarded after a significant time delay, sometimes spanning several decades following a discovery. This delay is considered necessary to ensure the discovery is validated and has a lasting impact on the scientific discipline.[3] Consequently, this delay raises questions about the current representation of emerging sciences and interdisciplinary fields, as recent discoveries may not appear on winners' lists for a long time, while the awards continue to reflect major shifts in fundamental science that have occurred in recent decades.
