- The 2023 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier.
- On September 3, these three scientists received the Nobel Prize in Physics for "experimental methods generating attosecond pulses for the study of electron mobility in matter."
- Scientists have received an award for experiments that have allowed scientists to generate ultra-short pulses of light, with which they can finally 'look' directly into the super-fast world of electrons.
- Attosecond physics gives us the opportunity to understand mechanisms that are governed by electrons.
- In their experiments, scientists have shown how extremely short wavelengths of light can be generated and used to measure rapid processes in which electrons move or convert energy.
- Ferenc Kraus is a German physicist, Anne L'Huillier is from Sweden and Pierre Agostini is an American.
