Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 awarded to three scientists for their work on electrons in light flashes
The laureates are invited to ceremonies where they will receive their honours on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's passing. Read to know more about these Nobel laurates.
Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L'Huillier received the 2023 Physics Nobel Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for "experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter." (Image: NW18 Creative)
A new phenomenon was found by L'Huillier as a result of laser light's interactions with gaseous atoms. This effect can be exploited to generate shorter light pulses than were previously achievable, as proven by Agostini and Krausz. (Image: NW18 Creative)
The three are being honoured, according to the academy, for their experiments that have provided mankind with new instruments for examining the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules. (Image: NW18 Creative)
