Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier share prize for contributing to study of electrons

Physicists who created pulses of light lasting about 16 orders of magnitude shorter than a second have won the Nobel Prize for their work, which has shed light on how electrons move and change.

Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier share the 2023 physics prize “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”.
