Trio wins Nobel physics prize for lighting up secrets of the atom

      STOCKHOLM - Scientists Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for creating ultra-short pulses of light that can give a snapshot of changes within atoms, potentially leading to better detection of disease. The prize-awarding academy said their studies had given humanity new tools for exploring the movement of electrons inside atoms and molecules, a phenomenon that was long thought impossible to trace. Changes in electrons occur in a few tenths of an attosecond - a unit so short that there are as many attoseconds in one second as there have been seconds since the birth of the universe. "The ability t...Keep on reading: Trio wins Nobel physics prize for lighting up secrets of the atom
