Trio wins Nobel Prize in physics for split-second glimpse of superfast spinning world of electrons

29 Sept 16:50 Key points summarised by AI

Three scientists—Anne L’Huillier, Pierre Agostini, and Ferenc Krausz—were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for their groundbreaking work.
They developed innovative methods to create ultra-fast laser pulses (attoseconds), enabling the first split-second observations of electrons' rapid movement.
This breakthrough provides a 'blurry' glimpse into the superfast world of electrons, fundamentally advancing our understanding of chemistry, physics, and biology.
The research holds significant promise for future applications, potentially leading to advancements in electronics, disease diagnostics, and fundamental chemical processes.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
