These are the popular accounts of the science behind the prizes published on the official site. I couldn’t find one for medicine, so you’ve got the press release instead.

Physics - Strange phenomena in matter’s flatlands (PDF)

Chemistry - How molecules became machines (PDF)

Medicine - Mechanisms for autophagy

Economics- Contract theory (PDF)

Medicine - Check out IFL Science and Popular Science. I swear! Though my cousin does work for IFL Science. He didn’t wri

Economics- I find it hard to find economics stuff. But I’ve heard of Time magazine, so its article can’t be too bad!
