Nobel Prize in Physics jointly awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for work on extremely short pulses of light to study rapid movements of electrons

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Tuesday awarded the 2023 Physics Nobel Prize to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter. According to the academy, the trio are being recognised for their experiments, which have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules.   Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier have...
