President Trump has María Corina Machado’s medal, but he is not recognized as the prize laureate. Ms. Machado did not win Mr. Trump’s endorsement to become Venezuela’s president.

Although Machado's gesture marks a rare instance of a living laureate parting with their medal shortly after receiving it, it is not unprecedented, and rules state that Machado could give away her actual medal but not the honour itself.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said she “presented” her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Donald Trump, in a bid to win over the US president who had sidelined her since overthrowing Nicolas Maduro.

arXiv:2512.23919v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the scientific community, prizes play a pivotal role in shaping research trajectories by conferring credibility and offering financial incentives to researchers. Yet, we know little about the relationship between academic collaborations and prizewinning. By analyzing over 100 scientific prizes and the collaboration behaviors of over 5,000 prizewinners in CS, we find that prizewinners collaborate earlier and more frequently with other prizewinners than researchers who have not yet received similar recognition. Moreover, CS researchers across age groups collaborate more with prizewinners after winning their first prize, and collaborating with prizewinners after their first win increases the likelihood of the collaborator winning an award. We find that recipients of general CS prizes collaborate more than recipients of more specialized prizes, who collaborate less frequently. With Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM) and regression, we find an

arXiv:2512.19956v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 has been awarded to John Clarke, John Martinis, and Michel Devoret for "the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit".

arXiv:2512.09707v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This project aims to construct and analyze a comprehensive knowledge graph of Nobel Prize and Laureates by enriching existing datasets with biographical information extracted from Wikipedia. Our approach integrates multiple advanced techniques, consisting of automatic data augmentation using LLMs for Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Relation Extraction (RE) tasks, and social network analysis to uncover hidden patterns within the scientific community. Furthermore, we also develop a GraphRAG-based chatbot system utilizing a fine-tuned model for Text2Cypher translation, enabling natural language querying over the knowledge graph. Experimental results demonstrate that the enriched graph possesses small-world network properties, identifying key influential figures and central organizations. The chatbot system achieves a competitive accuracy on a custom multiple-choice evaluation dataset, proving the effectiveness of combining LLMs with

arXiv:2510.09069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Philosophers have spilled much ink over the discovery of ideas in the classical 'context of discovery'. However, there has been little engagement with the question of what constitutes a discovery of 'things in the world'. A much-overlooked answer to this question is provided by T.S. Kuhn. In this paper, I show that discoveries awarded with a Nobel Prize in Physics in the past 53 years accord with a basic premise of Kuhn's account and his distinction between two types of natural kind discoveries. I also draw normative conclusions for credit attribution in science.
