Why does it take decades for a scientist to win a Nobel Prize?

Описание: The 2025 winners had to wait an average of 31 years for their recognition. This isn't an accident—it's by design. Alfred Nobel's will stated the prize should go to work that has provided the "greatest benefit to humanity," meaning a discovery must stand the test of time.

This year's Medicine laureates, for example, did their ground-breaking work 25-30 years ago on how our body prevents autoimmune attacks. Only now are we seeing its full impact, paving the way for new treatments for diabetes, arthritis, and cancer.

Watch to learn why this delay happens and why it's a double-edged sword for science.
