Rare information about the first female scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics after 55 years

Scientist Donna Strickland became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics after 55 years.

At 17:00 on October 2 (Vietnam time), the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced it belongs to 3 scientists Arthur Ashkin (USA), Gerard Mourou (France) and Donna Strickland (Canada) for these groundbreaking invention in the field of laser physics.

According to Sputnik, Donna Strickland is a laser physicist working at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. She was born on May 27, 1959 in the city of Guelph, southwestern Ontario. She is currently the leading female professor in international laser studies.

With the award announced on October 2, Donna was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics since Maria Goeppert Mayer was awarded the prize in 1963 for groundbreaking nuclear class structure. Donna was also one of three women in the history of the Nobel Prize in Physics, previously Marie Curie in 1903 and Maria Goeppert-Mayer in 1963.

Donna's award-winning research began in 1985, when she was studying for a doctorate at the University of Rochester in New York, USA.

Her work is to develop a technique called pulse amplification used to produce ultra-short pulses of very high intensity, useful in laser miniature assistants for medicine, in There are eye surgeries.

Ms. Donna served as Vice President (2011) and President (2013) organized Optical Society science with members in more than 100 countries. She was also on the editorial board of the scientific journal Optics Letters from 2004 to 2010.

Donna will award the 9 million Swedish kronor prize (equivalent to US $ 1.1 million) to French laser physicist Gerard Mourou - who was her guide in 1989 and American physicist Arthur Ashkin. Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, with the development of 'optical tweezers'.

In a phone interview with the Swedish Academy of Sciences, Donna couldn't hide her joy: 'We need to be happy for female scientists because we're always there. I feel honored to be one of those women. '

belong to 3 scientists Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne with research on gravitational waves.

Nobel Physics is the second Nobel Prize to be awarded in the Nobel Prize in 2018, after being awarded to scientists James P Allison (American) and Tasuku Honjo (Japanese). The work of two scientists, Allison and Honjo, has found a way to suppress the immune system to fight cancer cells, a breakthrough that opens up new principles for treating the disease.
