Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier are the winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. It was awarded "for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter".
The three Nobel Laureates are being recognised for their experiments, which have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules. Each of the scientists has demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy.
The Nobel Prize is worth 11 million Swedish kronor. It will be shared equally between the laureates.
