The Nobel Prize has been established for more than 100 years. In the past 100 years, scientists from many countries in the world have made achievements in their own land and won the Nobel Prize.

The number of people who won the Nobel Prize in Science in the United States accounts for about 40%-50% of the number of people who won the Nobel Prize in the world.

In 2003 alone, there were 273 Nobel Prize winners in the United States, of which only a handful were literary prize winners, including Peace Prize 19, Economics Prize 34, Chemistry Prize 54, Physics Prize 72 and Physiology or Medicine Prize 83. By the end of 20 17, there were 356 winners in the United States.

American scientists believe that there are two main reasons why the United States has produced so many Nobel Prize winners. First, its scientific research funds are abundant, and second, the academic atmosphere in the United States encourages competition and innovation.

The United States has invested tens of billions of dollars in basic research through state and private channels. Some projects funded by companies, such as Nobel Lab, have spent countless dollars on research. Rita colwell, director of the National Science Foundation, said the money was used where it was most needed. The United States spends tens of billions of dollars on basic research from public and private sources every year.

For example, in the draft budget of 200 1, the total federal R&D expenditure reached $85.3 billion, of which about 50% was used for basic scientific research. Federal scientific research institutions in the United States, such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, attach great importance to basic research, as do many non-profit organizations, such as Howard Hughes Medical Institute of Harvard University and the National Academy of Sciences. Research institutions supported by enterprises such as Bell Laboratories have also invested billions of dollars in this area.

Judging from the results of math and science tests, the level of primary or secondary education in the United States is not in the forefront of the world, lagging behind all Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, France and Germany, but universities are not. American universities have a high level of education, which does not encourage students to learn by rote, but advocates students to think independently and be more active.
