Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated with an absorbent, inert substance like kieselguhr it became safer and more convenient to manipulate, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as dynamite.
This powder was a precursor of cordite, and Nobel's claim that his patent covered the latter was the occasion of vigorously contested law-suits between him and the British Government in 1894 and 1895.

 Alfred Nobel
His only play (Nemesis, a prose tragedy in four acts about Beatrice Cenci[?], partly inspired by Percy Bysshe Shelley's blank verse tragedy in five acts The Cenci[?]), was printed when he was dying, and the whole stock exept three copies was destroyed immediately after his death, being regarded as scandalous and blasphemous.
In 1859 this was left to the care of the second son, Ludvig Emmanuel[?] (1831-1888), by whom it was greatly enlarged, and Alfred, returning to Sweden with his father, devoted himself to the study of explosives, and especially to the manufacture and use of nitroglycerin.
Cordite also consists of nitroglycerin and gun-cotton, but the form of the latter which its inventors wished to use was the most highly nitrated variety, which isn't soluble in mixtures of ether and alcohol, whereas Nobel contemplated using a less nitrated form, which is soluble in such mixtures.

 Metanexus Institute
Nobel discovered that when nitroglycerine is injected into an inert absorbent, it becomes less prone to immediate explosion, and can be handled more safely.
When he died, Alfred Nobel left a considerable sum of money in his will for the establishment of prizes to be given each year to recognize individuals for their outstanding contributions to physics, chemistry, medicine or physiology, for literary work "in the sense of idealism," and for service to the cause of peace.
Not all recipients of the Nobel prize for literature may have created works of idealism, but the spirit of these prizes have been respected in all instances.

It is clear that for much of the century the Nobel Prize for Literature has gone to men of the Left, or rather from a certain element of the Left in the widest and most honourable sense of that term as a protest against social injustice.
None of this is to accuse the Nobel Committee of leftwing orthodoxy.
In fact it is arguable that the Nobel Committee should have honoured a greater number of writers who, like Churchill, were dual personalities both scholars and men of action.

 Miek's Fabergé 1913 Winter Egg
When asked to quickly complete a 40 piece commission for the magnate Dr. Emmanuel Nobel, Pihl drew inspiration from the sunlight sparkling through the draughty workshop's windows.
This sight reminded her of an enchanted garden of frost flowers, and thus resulted in many frost-flower bracelets, pendants and brooches, set in platinum-silver and richly-set with the tiniest rose-cut diamonds.
The brooches (which were perhaps destined to be given to foreign clients' wives at his business dinners) had to be of a completely new design, but the materials should be inexpensive so they could not be interpreted as bribes.
