Annie L'Huillier was teaching the morning of the 2023 physics prize.
During a break, she got the news. Back in class, she told her students class would end early but gave no reason.
Suspicious, her students stayed to watch the announcement. They cheered when her name was said.
We'll be announcing the 2026 physics laureates on 6 October. Stay tuned to our channels to hear the news first.
