I am delighted to see the pioneering work of Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier recognised with the Nobel Prize in Physics. Their experimental breakthroughs, which enabled the generation of trains of laser pulses with durations on the attosecond scale, have allowed the study of processes on time scales previously impossible to reach, making an extraordinary contribution to advancing our understanding of matter.   

This is yet another of the many well-deserved Nobel Prizes in photonics in recent decades, confirming lasers as the definitive enabling technology of the second half of the 20th century and so far in the 21st century, capable of opening windows to the exploration of the universe through the detection of gravitational waves, as well as allowing the most precise measurements of the smallest magnitudes or objects or exploring the fastest events in nature.
