	Alfred Nobel

	알프레드 노벨 (Alfred Nobel, 1833~1896)

Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, and inventor. Nobel is best-known as an inventor of dynamite and the founder of the Nobel Prize.

Alfred Nobel was born on October 21, 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden. His father was an engineer that started "torpedo" works. Nobel traveled widely when he was young, and lived in many countries around the world, including Sweden, Russia, France, England, Germany and Italy. By the age of 17, he was fluent in five different languages. He studied chemistry in Paris and returned to Sweden in 1859.

In the 1860's, Nobel began experiments with nitroglycerin in his father's factory. He discovered that a mix of nitroglycerin and a fine porous powder was most effective compound to make explosives. He named this mixture "dynamite". It was five times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder. He established his own factory to produce it, and received a patent in 1867. Nobel's dynamite was first used on a large scale to build the St. Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland in 1882. He became well-known all over the world because of that. Later, he set up factories around the world to produce dynamite and other explosives. Construction companies, mining companies, and the military ordered large quantities of Nobel's dynamite. Sales of dynamite brought Nobel great wealth. Nobel received an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University in Sweden in 1893.

Although he worked for the majority of his life developing explosives, Nobel was a pacifist. He stated in his last will that he wanted about 94 percent of his wealth to be used to fund awards in the study of Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Physiology or Medicine, and Peace. He said that the awards should be given to those who have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind.
Alfred Nobel passed away on December 10, 1896. The first Nobel prizes for the people who work for mankind were made in 1901 on the 5th anniversary of Nobel's death.
