Women in physics

In 2023, Anne L'Huillier shared the prize in equal parts with Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz for their experimental contribution and development of attosecond physics.

[11] Nuclear physicist Rosalyn Sussman Yalow was the second female scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1977 for the development of radioimmunoassays.

[20] Aside from the named above, other physicists and physicochemists that were nominated to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry but dit not receive it, include Ida Noddack,[21] Marguerite Perey,[22] Alberte Pullman,[23] and Erika Cremer.

These are Marie Curie, Hertha Sponer, Marie-Antoinette Tonnelat, Anne Barbara Underhill, Katharina Boll-Dornberger, Maria Goeppert Mayer, Dorothy Hodgkin, and Margaret Burbidge.

They are: Women who have been awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics since 2012, include: Female scientist have sometimes not been recognized in the naming of topics they discovered due to Matilda effect.

Emmy Noether who published the Noether's theorem in 1918. The theorem relates symmetries to conserved quantities in physics.
