Nobel Prize Winners and the Impact of mRNA Research on COVID

Physicists Anne L’Huillier, Pierre Agostini, and Ferenc Krausz have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking work in developing attosecond laser pulses, which allow for the observation of ultrafast electron motion. By producing flashes of light lasting mere attoseconds, billions of billions of times briefer than a second, researchers can directly detect the movement of electrons as they navigate atoms. This new method has opened doors to studying electrons and has potential applications in fields such as attochemistry and early cancer detection.
