The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three people, including two Frenchmen, for their research on ultra-fast lasers.
Applauded by her students at the university where she teaches in Sweden, researcher Anne L’Oil maker has just received the Nobel Prize in Physics, which she shares with the Frenchman Pierre Agostini. The winners are rewarded for having created light pulses of the order ofattosecond. The objective is to be able to identify the movements of electrons, if light that you have to flash them to be able to control them.
Fifth woman to win the award
“If we control these electrons at the first stage, we will be able to create drugs. This can help accelerate electronic components for faster computers,” explains Pascal Salières, research director at CEA Paris Saclay. Anne L’Oil maker its said happy for the researchresearch and for the place of women in this field. “You can combine a normal life with a scientific career”, she says. She is the fifth woman to receive this award since 1901.
