Two-time Nobel laureates
Receiving the Nobel Prize once is already an event that can change a life and the history of science or culture. But 5 people managed it twice: this selection brings together 10 times awards recognising their work.
This rare achievement grew from very different paths, from fundamental discoveries to public service. A second prize does not simply repeat the first; it shows that a person's contribution mattered in more than one chapter of world history.
The people in this selection: Frederick Sanger, John Bardeen, Karl Barry Sharpless, Linus Pauling, Marie Curie.
