Anne L'Huillier likes to push herself to the limit. In her case as a physicist, this means the limit of time. The 2023 Nobel Prize winner conducts research with ultrashort laser pulses. Attosecond physics attempts to observe the ultrafast movements of electrons. She uses laser pulses to do this - and the shorter the light pulses, the sharper the atomic image.
L'Huillier, who together with physicists Ferenc Krausz and Pierre Agostini received the Nobel Prize for their experimental research, took the Vienna audience on a journey into a hidden world that moves unimaginably fast at the atomic level at a joint lecture by the OeAW and ISTA
The aim of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) and Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) lectures is to bring top-class researchers to Vienna on a regular basis.
