The Nobel Prize in Physics 2019
Two of the laureates are Swiss. This brings the total number of Swiss laureates to 28, making it the third country with most Nobel prizes per capita.<p>The first two are Saint Lucia and Luxemburg, which have 180k and 600k inhabitants respectively.<p>Among the bigger countries, Switzerland has the most per capita Nobel prizes.<p>Interestingly, UK is on number 9 on that list and has a significantly bigger population than the top 8 (I'd say 10x more people than the average top 8 country). Super impressive. Of course, Germany (14) and the US (16) are also not half bad, especially since the US has 5x the population of UK.<p>Source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Nobel_laureates_per_capita" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Nobel_lau...</a>
