The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to scientists on Tuesday Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Kraus and Anna L’Huillet for observing electrons in atoms in minute fractions of a second.
The researchers were awarded for creating “extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure rapid processes during which electrons move or change energy,” the jury said.
The progress made by the three physicists “has made it possible to study processes at a speed that were previously impossible to follow,” he added.
According to the jury, the experiments of these three physicists “gave humanity new tools to explore the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules.”
“They demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure fast processes in which electrons move or change energy,” he said.
The announcement was made Tuesday by a committee in Stockholm, Sweden.
The work carried out by these scientists allowed us to advance and opened the door to attosecond physics. According to The keeper, Frenchwoman Anne L’Huillet became the fifth woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
The remaining prizes will be announced in the coming days. The chemistry paper will be due this Wednesday.
After medicine, the second Nobel Prize will be announced on Monday, followed in the coming days by prizes for chemistry, literature, peace and economics.
