Nobel laureate physicist Ferenc Krausz resigns membership in Russian Academy of Sciences

Hungarian Nobel laureate Ferenc Krausz resigned from the Russian Academy of Sciences due to its silence on Russia's war crimes against Ukraine. He emphasizes the importance of standing against violations of international law and human rights, urging the academy to advocate for peace. Krausz, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in October 2023, donated his prize money to Science4People, an association aimed at aiding those affected by the war. He recently collaborated in Ukraine, giving lectures and promoting a petition signed by 131 Nobel laureates to use frozen Russian assets for rebuilding efforts.
