Answer

Certainly! There are no age restrictions for winning a Nobel Prize. The youngest Nobel laureate was Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 at the age of 17. The oldest Nobel laureate was Leonid Hurwicz, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2007 at the age of 90. These examples demonstrate the inclusiveness and recognition of exceptional achievements regardless of age in the Nobel Prize.
