The Physics Noble Prize 2023 awarded to Pierre Agostini (Ohio State University), Ferenc Krausz (Max Planck Institute) and Anne L’Huillier (Lund University) for their experimental work on producing attosecond light pulses to study of motion electron.

Techniques resulting from the work of Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier let scientists capture the motions of subatomic particles moving at impossible speeds.

Dr. Salam and Dr. Oppenheimer were two of the finest physicists of their time.
-->Dr. Abdus Salam's contribution: the Pati-Salam model, magnetic photon, vector meson, Grand Unified Theory, work on supersymmetry, and, most importantly, electroweak theory (Noble Prize winning).
-->Dr. R. J. Oppenheimer's contributions include the Born-Oppenheimer approximation for molecular wave functions, work on the theory of electrons and positrons, the Oppenheimer-Phillips process in nuclear fusion, the first prediction of quantum tunneling, Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV), and being called the Father of the Nuclear Bomb.
