Their work with the tiny part of each atom that races around the center and is fundamental to virtually everything: chemistry, physics, our bodies and our gadgets.
Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics for their work on how electrons zip around the atom during the tiniest fractions of seconds. The field could one day lead to better electronics or disease diagnoses. The award, announced Tuesday, went to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier for their study of the tiny part of each atom that races around the center and that is fundamental to virtually everything. Electrons move around so fast that they have been out of reach of human efforts to isolate them, but experts says that by looking at the tiniest fraction of a second possible, scientists now have a “blurry” glimpse of them and that opens up whole new sciences.
