Nobel Prize in Physics 2023: The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Kraus, and Anne L'Huillier on October 3, 2023. They have been awarded the Physics Nobel "for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter". L'Huillier is the fifth woman to win the Physics Nobel.

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was jointly awarded to Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger for conducting groundbreaking experiments in the field of quantum mechanics, which is the foundation for the new age of quantum technology. The physicists got the Nobel Prize “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities, and pioneering quantum information science.”

The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann, and Giorgio Parisi, "for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems”.

One half of the prize was jointly awarded to Manabe and Hasselmann "for the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming". The other half was awarded to Giorgio Parisi "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales".

Hungarian American biochemist Katalin Karikó and American physician Drew Weissman have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. They received the Nobel for their contributions to the field of immunology that led to the development of effective mRNA vaccines against Covid-19.

History of Nobel Prize in Physics

The number of women who have received the Physics Nobel so far is five. These are: Marie Curie, Maria Goeppert-Mayer, Donna Strickland, Andrea Ghez, and Anne L'Huillier. Curie, Goeppert-Mater, Strickland, Ghez, and L'Huillier received the Physics Nobel in 1903, 1963, 2018, 2020, and 2023, respectively. 

Lawrence Bragg, who was awarded the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics with his father, is the youngest physics laureate ever. He received the award when he was 25 years of age. 

Arthur Ashkin, who was awarded the 2018 Physics Nobel, when he was 96 years old, is the oldest physics laureate ever.
