Of the 202 Nobelists who have been awarded prizes in physics, chemistry and medicine this century, less than 70% hail from the country in which they were awarded their prize, a Nature analysis shows.

More than 30% of this century’s science Nobel prizewinners immigrated: see their journeys

The most common destination for eventual Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine since 2000 is the United States, Nature has found.
