Nobel Prize Archive Screensaver
The Nobel Prize Archive screensaver rotates through real Nobel Prize laureates across every category and year, drawn live and key-less from the official Nobel Prize API. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Nobel Prize Archive screensaver works
The saver queries the official Nobel Prize API for real laureate records, with no key required.
Each laureate's name, year, category and citation motivation displays in turn.
Filter to one category or rotate through the full real archive.
The most recent real laureates lead the rotation.
