Answer
The 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics was shared by Daniel Tsui and Robert Laughlin for their discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect, which led to the development of new methods for the study of strongly correlated electron systems. The fractional quantum Hall effect is a phenomenon in which electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas at low temperatures and high magnetic fields form a series of fractionally charged excitations.
