Nobel Prize 2023

Three scientists have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work, which made it easier to detect electrons and can be used to manufacture electrical devices. Tap to read about it!

Royal Swedish Academy of Science

The Nobel Prize 2023 was awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L'Huillier on Tuesday by the Royal Swedish Academy of Science for their work.

Who are these three Scientists?

The experiments of Ferenc Krausz, Pierre Agostini, and Anne L'Huillier have given mankind new tools for examining the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules.

What exactly have the scientists done?

By creating light pulses that last only attoseconds, or 11018 of a second, their work has pushed humanity closer to viewing and analysing the movement of electrons.

Nobel website in 1987

According to the Nobel website in 1987, a laser light pulse was sent through a noble gas, it reacted with the atoms and provided some electrons with extra energy.

Why is this work important?

People can understand electron-governed mechanisms with this. Utilising them will be the next stage, according to Eva Olsson, chair of the physics Nobel Committee.
