The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”
Pierre Agostini of The Ohio State University in the US; Ferenc Krausz of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany; and Anne L’Huillier of Lund University in Sweden won the award as the Nobels season resumed on Tuesday.
Hans Ellegren, the secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, announced the prize Tuesday in Stockholm.
The physics prize comes a day after scientists Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman from Hungary and the United States respectively won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries enabling the development of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.
Last year, three scientists — Alain Aspect, John F Clauser and Anton Zeilinger — shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on quantum information science.
The prizes carry a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million) drawn from a bequest left by the prize’s creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, who died in 1896.
