The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for revolutionary ways of manipulating light
The 2018 #NobelPrize in Physics was shared by Arthur Ashkin of Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, N.J., Gérard Mourou of École Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France, and Donna Strickland of the University of Waterloo in Canada.
They discovered groundbreaking methods to manipulate light. Ashkin invented the #opticaltweezers, a tool that uses beams of light to capture and move small particles, including viruses and living cells.
Mourou and Strickland invented a way to compress #laser light into extremely short and intense pulses (chirped pulse amplification).
