Swapnamoy Ganguly Thank you so much.

I think its depend on your Research quality, research area and your Luck.

Hafiz Muhammad Yasir Hellow and thanks for commenting. I think it's also about connections. Its rather unlikely to receive it your 20's in the mist of building reputation. Were there Researchers in their 20's who took a Nobel in your field ? In physics I don't think they were.

In 2004 Novoselov, Geim, and colleagues succeeded in isolating graphene, awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics. Novoselov was 36 years old.

Hartmut Michel, The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1988, “for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of a photosynthetic reaction centre” In 1982 Michel succeeded in crystallizing these types of proteins. The follow year he, along with Johann Deisenhofer and Robert Huber, determined the structure for the photosynthetic reaction center.

Yurii V Geletii Hellow and Thank you for the comment.

I think their was another guy who did receive a Physics Nobel in his 20's, Bragg, but he did it alongside his father, which makes it unique.

Referring to the second paragraph in your comment - The shortest interval in chemistry is six years? That sound's more reasonable than two years.

Thank you again.
