VOICED : Pioneros del laser premiados con el Nobel de Fisica

Arthur Ashkin, Gerard Mourou, and Donna Strickland were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking laser research. Ashkin received half of the prize for his work on optical tweezers, which manipulate small particles. Mourou and Strickland shared the other half for developing the CPA technique, enhancing laser power and precision, with applications in ocular surgery. Strickland is notably the third woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. The award ceremony is scheduled for December 10.
