This Discovery Just Won the Nobel Prize in Physics

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 was just awarded to three scientists (Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier) for “experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.” In other words, they broke the record for the fastest light pulse! And that’s allowing us to peer into the inner workings of our world and understand things like never before…
