Physics Nobel Prize rewards science on a 'tiny timescale'

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics rewards experiments with light that capture "the shortest of moments".

The award goes to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier.

Their work 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.

The winners will share prize money of 10 million Swedish krona (£800,000).

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, announced on Monday, was awarded to a pair of scientists who developed the technology that led to the mRNA Covid vaccines.

Professors Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman shared the prize.
