On October 3rd, 2023, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”.

The three Nobel Laureates in Physics 2023 are being recognised for their experiments, which have given humanity new tools for 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.

It is with tremendous excitement that we congratulate our colleagues Anne L’Huillier, Pierre Agostini, and Ferenc Krausz!
