Katalin Karikó and Ferenc Krausz received the Nobel Prize - for the second time in history, the name of the University of Szeged was announced at the Nobel ceremony

Two Nobel Prize winners from Hungary and the University of Szeged have been awarded the world's most prestigious scientific prize. The mRNA researcher Katalin Karikó, Professor at the University of Szeged, is the first Hungarian woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Ferenc Krausz, who conducted his molecular fingerprinting research in Szeged, is a Nobel Prize winner in physics. Our coverage of the event, which took place at the Stockholm Concert Hall on 10 December 2023, is complemented by exclusive information from our correspondent on the ground.

Our correspondents for the Stockholm Nobel Week - Ilona Újszászi and István Sahin-Tóth - report:

Through Katalin Karikó, the name of the University of Szeged was mentioned for the second time in the history of Nobel Prize ceremonies, after 1937. In Stockholm, the 2023 Nobel Prizes were awarded in front of the members of the Nobel Committee and the Swedish Royal Family, and two Hungarian researchers, Ferenc Krausz and Katalin Karikó, were among the 10 recipients of this year's prizes.

Speaking before receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics, Swedish physicist Eva Olsson said that the way to understand the vast universe is to observe small time-scale phenomena. A heartbeat lasts a thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand attoseconds, and it is a pulse of light of this duration that has made it possible to see this world, despite the fact that in 1925 Werner Heisenberg, one of the founders of quantum physics, thought it was impossible. The eulogy pointed out that the study of matter, interacting in a strong laser field and ultrashort electron dynamics paved the way for the development of medical applications, new materials for energy storage and solar cells.

After the speech, Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne l'Huillier received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
