It has been a very exciting week in the world of physics. The winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize for Physics were announced on Tuesday and on Wednesday we learned that this year’s chemistry prize has a very strong connection to physics. And to top it all off, the names of the chemistry winners were leaked several hours before the announcement was made.

So we definitely have lots to talk about in this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, which features Physics World’s Margaret Harris, Matin Durrani and Hamish Johnston.
