Nobel Prize 2023 in physics has been given to the three scientists for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.
NEW DELHI: The Nobel Prize 2023 in physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.
According to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the three Nobel laureates in physics 2023 are being recognised for their experiments in exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules.

Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier have demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy as per the academy.
“We can now open the door to the world of electrons. Attosecond physics gives us the opportunity to understand mechanisms that are governed by electrons. The next step will be utilising them,” says Eva Olsson, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics.

The academy stated that the research by Nobel laureates will have applications in many different areas. “ In electronics, for example, it is important to understand and control how electrons behave in a material. Attosecond pulses can also be used to identify different molecules, such as in medical diagnostics" an official statement from the academy read.
