Harvard University's&nbsp;Professor Claudia Goldin has been honoured with the Nobel Prize in Economics for 2023, as announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

This esteemed recognition, officially known as the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, was awarded to Goldin in acknowledgment of her extensive research contributions to the understanding of women's roles and outcomes in the labor market.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences commended Goldin's groundbreaking work, stating that she has significantly advanced the world's&nbsp;comprehension of women's labour market results.

Goldin becomes the 55th laureate of this prestigious award and only the third woman, after&nbsp;Elinor Ostrom&nbsp;in 2009 and Esther Duflo in 2019, to receive this honour since its establishment in 1969.

According to a Moneycontrol report, the Academy highlighted Goldin's remarkable contributions, emphasising her meticulous examination of historical data and the presentation of new and unexpected insights.

Her research, in the words of the Nobel committee,&nbsp;deepened our insights into the factors influencing women's opportunities in the labour market, particularly the impact of marriage and household responsibilities.

Goldin's studies underscore that change in labour market dynamics occurs gradually, as career choices are influenced by expectations that may evolve over time.

Her research has global relevance, with similar patterns observed in numerous countries, offering valuable insights into labour markets of the past, present, and future.

Claudia Goldin awarded Nobel Prize in economics for research on women's labour market impact

Scientists Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier were awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in the matter.”

These scientists have been recognised for their “experiments, which have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules”, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the award-giving body, said in a statement.

Their work could advance medical diagnostics and electronics, it added.

“Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier have 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,” it said.

“The laureates’ contributions have enabled the investigation of processes that are so rapid they were previously impossible to follow,” it added.

<h2>What was the experiment about?</h2>

As mentioned, these scientists carried out an experiment that&nbsp;generated attosecond pulses of light. An attosecond is one-quintillionth of a second, or one-billionth of a nanosecond.

This experiment&nbsp;allows scientists to look at the very smallest particles at the very shortest timescales, in this case in an attosecond. The laureates developed experiments to be able to produce these ultrafast laser pulses, which can be used to probe our world at the smallest scales and have applications across chemistry, biology and physics.

<h2>L'Huillier fifth woman to receive Nobel Prize in physics</h2>

Addressing a news conference after the announcement, L'Huillier,&nbsp;who is only the fifth woman to receive a Nobel in physics, said, "It is really a prestigious prize and I'm so happy to get it. It's incredible."

L'Huillier works at Lund University in Sweden, while Agostini is a professor at Ohio State University. Krausz is the director at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics.

The Nobel Prizes carry a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million). The money comes from a bequest left by the prize's creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, who died in 1896.

Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Pierre, Ferenc and Anne L’Huillier for using electrons to study light

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte's office on Monday congratulated journalist Maria Ressa for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, calling it "a victory for a Filipina" for which it was happy to see.

Ressa, founder of Philippine news site Rappler, and Dmitry Muratov shared the 2021 prize&nbsp;after braving the wrath of the leaders of the Philippines and Russia to expose corruption and misrule.

Ressa has been fighting multiple legal challenges in courts related to Rappler's dogged investigative reporting of Duterte's government, its bloody war on drugs, and its use of social media to target opponents.

"It is a victory for a Filipina and we are very happy for that," presidential spokesperson Harry Roque told a regular news conference, responding to a question on what the award meant for the government.

"Of course it is true there are individuals who feel Maria Ressa still has to clear her name before the courts," he said, in the first comment on Friday's award from Duterte's camp.

The firebrand leader has described Rappler, launched in 2012, as a "fake news outlet" and a tool of the US&nbsp;Central Intelligence Agency, which Ressa has dismissed as nonsense.

The Prize was hailed by many in the Philippines, with critics saying it is a rebuke on Duterte, a frequent critic of Rappler.

It was the first Nobel Peace Prize for the Philippines and the first for journalists since the German Carl von Ossietzky won it in 1935. The Kremlin congratulated Muratov on Friday, describing the investigative journalist as talented and brave.

Asked on Monday what her message would be to Duterte, Ressa urged him not to pursue a divide and conquer approach. "I beg you, unite this nation. Don't tear us apart," she said in an interview with news channel ANC.

Arthur Ashkin, Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland share Nobel Physics Prize 

Jean-Pierre Sauvage of France, J Fraser Stoddart of Britain and Bernard Feringa of the Netherlands won the Nobel Chemistry Prize on Wednesday for developing molecular machines, the world&#39;s smallest machines.

&quot;They have developed molecules with controllable movements, which can perform a task when energy is added,&quot; the jury said.&nbsp;&quot;The molecular motor is at the same stage as the electric motor was in the 1830s, when scientists displayed various spinning cranks and wheels, unaware that they would lead to electric trains, washing machines, fans and food processors.&quot;

Molecular machines will &quot;most likely be used in the development of things such as new materials, sensors and energy storage systems,&quot; it said.

The three will share the eight million Swedish Kronor&nbsp;(around $933,000 or 832,000 Euros) prize equally.

The first step towards a molecular machine was taken by Sauvage in 1983, when he succeeded in linking together two ring-shaped molecules to form a chain.&nbsp;Normally, molecules are joined by strong bonds in which the atoms share electrons, but in the chain they were instead linked by a freer mechanical bond.

&quot;For a machine to be able to perform a task it must consist of parts that can move relative to each other. The two interlocked rings fulfilled exactly this requirement,&quot; the Nobel jury said.

The second step was taken by Stoddart in 1991, when he threaded a molecular ring onto a thin molecular axle and demonstrated that the ring was able to move along the axle.&nbsp;&quot;Among his developments...are a molecular lift, a molecular muscle and a molecule-based computer chip,&quot; the jury said.

Feringa was meanwhile the first person to develop a molecular motor;&nbsp;in 1999 he was able to make a molecular rotor blade to spin continually in the same direction. Using molecular motors, he has also designed a nanocar.

The chemistry prize is the third Nobel to be announced this week.&nbsp;On Tuesday, the physics prize went to British scientists David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz for their work on &quot;topology&quot;, a mathematics field studying unusual phases or states of matter.&nbsp;On Monday, the medicine prize went to Yoshinori Ohsumi of Japan for his pioneering work on autophagy,&nbsp;a process whereby cells &quot;eat themselves&quot;, which can result in Parkinson&#39;s and diabetes when disrupted.

The peace prize will be announced on Friday, the economics prize on October 10, and the literature prize on October 13.
