Here are the 2021 laureates:

Medicine
David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian, both of the United States, won for their discoveries on human receptors for temperature and touch.

Chemistry
Benjamin List (Germany) and David MacMillan (Britain-US) won for developing a tool to build molecules that have spurred new drug research, scaled up production and made chemistry more environmentally friendly.

Literature
Tanzanian-born British novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah was honoured “for his uncompromising and compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee in the gulf between cultures and continents”.

Peace
Journalists Maria Ressa (Philippines-US) and Dmitry Muratov (Russia) won “for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression.”

Economics
David Card (US-Canada), Joshua Angrist (US-Israel) and Guido Imbens (US-Netherlands), won for research on “natural experiments”, or observational studies, that have revolutionised empirical research in fields ranging from the labour market to immigration and education.
