Trio wins physics Nobel for work on exploring electrons

STOCKHOLM: Three atomic physicists, France's Pierre Agostini, Hungarian-Austrian Ferenc Krausz and French-Swedish Anne L'Huillier, won the Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday for research into tools for exploring electrons inside atoms and molecules.

The trio was honored 'for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter,' the jury said.
