2023 Nobel Prize in Physics Awarded

The science of light once again garners the Nobel Prize in Physics. The 2023 physics laureates are Anne L’Huillier, Pierre Agostini, and Ferenc Krausz, whose experiments with attosecond pulses of light, “have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said upon announcing the prize. SPIE congratulates the three Nobel laureates and the teams of scientists and researchers who have supported their visionary accomplishments.
