20 years ago Ashkin’s work formed the basis for Steven Chu’s work on cooling and trapping atoms, which earned Chu a Nobel Prize in Physics. Today, at 96, Ashkin won one for himself. Kol hakavod! #NobelPrize2018 pic.twitter.com/DlZA5kgcKF

Charles Kao, the ‘Father of Fiber Optics’ has passed away. In 1966 he made a discovery that changed the way we communicate - fiber optic cables that can transmit light over hundreds of kilometers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009 https://t.co/0Hjs5OWBp7 pic.twitter.com/dMeeejEm8K
