Nobel Prizes - 2023

Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, Anne L'Huillier
They have demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy.
Chemistry
Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, Alexei Ekimov
For the discovery and development of quantum dots. These tiny particles have unique properties and now spread their light from television screens and LED lamps. They catalyze chemical reactions and their clear light can illuminate tumor tissue for surgeons.
Physiology or Medicine
Katalin Karikó, Drew Weissman
Their discoveries were critical for developing effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
Literature
Jon Fosse
For his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.

Her research since the 80's has given us new and often surprising insights into women's historical and contemporary roles in the labor market.
