Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics for their work on how electrons zip around the atom during the tiniest fractions of seconds. The field could one day lead
The Nobel Prize in physics went to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for looking at electrons in atoms in split seconds.
Tom Little/ReutersThe Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists behind experiments “exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules,” the Nobel committee said Tuesday. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier studied the movement of electrons during just a tiny fraction of a second, since electrons move too fast to be examined otherwise. “They have demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes
'Their experiments have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules'
Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for studying how electrons zip around the atom during in the tiniest fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better electronics or disease diagnoses.
