Prof. Ferenc Krausz, Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Professor at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), received - together with Pierre Agostini from Ohio State University (USA) and Anne L'Huillier from Lund University (Sweden) - the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 for the establishment of attosecond physics (attoworld.de).
An attosecond is the billionth part of a billionth of a second. Laser pulses lasting just a few attoseconds can be used to track the movements of individual electrons. This not only provides fundamental insights into the behavior of electrons in atoms, molecules and solids, but could also have potential applications in electronics and medical diagnostics.
