About this converter
The USA holds 411 Nobel laureates by birth country through 2024, about 270 clear of the UK at 141. Germany at 115, France at 76, Sweden at 34, Russia and USSR at 32, Japan at 29, Switzerland at 27, Austria at 25 and the Netherlands at 22 follow. Counts here use birth country per Nobel tables. Citizenship and affiliation counts differ since many laureates move labs. That birth versus affiliation split is noted per row. Organizations with prizes stay out since countries rank here.
How to use it
Pick two countries and the laureate unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try the USA against France to see the near six times gap. The bars below scale to the USA so the Netherlands looks thin next to it. Ratios are exact divisions of the laureate totals.
Birth versus affiliation splits this table. Nobel tables list 411 USA born against higher USA affiliated totals. New prizes each October add one or two per country, so totals move yearly. Figures here pin 2024 tables. Shared prizes split counts per laureate, not per prize.
