Sunday is the day. Austro-Hungarian scientist Ferenc Krausz receives the medal for the Nobel Prize in Physics. He revealed to the “Krone” what he donated to the museum in Stockholm.
The coming days for Ferenc Krausz are meticulously planned. A year after Anton Zeilinger, the Austro-Hungarian scientist received the Nobel Prize for Physics in Stockholm, Sweden. He shares this year’s prize with French-born Anne L’Huillier of Lund University (Sweden) and Pierre Agostini of Ohio State University (USA), also from France.
They receive the prize “for experimental methods for generating attosecond light pulses for the study of the dynamics of electrons in matter.”
But before the researchers receive the medals and prize money worth 950,000 euros, Krausz and his colleagues have a busy program ahead of them.
Nobel Museum: To kick off “Nobel Week”, the laureates will visit the Nobel Prize Museum in central Stockholm today, Wednesday, where they will each donate a personal object for the exhibition. In 2001, Krausz delivered a device to TU Vienna with which the first attosecond light pulses were measured.
Nobel Prize Lecture: The three physics prize winners will speak about their research on Friday at 9 a.m. In the evening we go to a concert.
Reception at the embassy: An embassy reception for Krausz is scheduled for Saturday. The German Embassy in Stockholm, in collaboration with the Hungarian and Austrian embassies, invites you to a panel discussion with the Nobel Prize winner.
Price: The presentation of the coveted scientific prize will take place on the anniversary of the death of prize founder Alfred Nobel, December 10. Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf will present the certificate and medal in the concert hall from 4 p.m. After the awards ceremony, the Nobel Prize Banquet will take place at Stockholm City Hall, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
Conversation with ISS: On Monday (December 11), the Nobel Prize Museum will connect to the International Space Station and Krausz, together with chemistry laureate Moungi Bawendi, will hold a conversation with Danish ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen.
