One Wikipedia Page Is a Metaphor for the Nobel Prize\u2019s Record With Women<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Donna Strickland is only the third woman in history to win the award in physics\u2014and her research probably deserved attention a lot sooner.<\/h6>\n

It was about five in the morning in Ontario, Canada, when Donna Strickland\u2019s phone rang. The Nobel Prize committee was on the line in Stockholm, calling to tell her she had won the prize in physics.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe wondered if it was a prank,\u201d Strickland\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday, in an interview with a Nobel official after the call. She had been asleep when the call arrived. \u201cBut then I knew it was the right day, and it would have been a cruel prank.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strickland, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo, shares the honor with two other scientists for their work in the 1980s in transforming lasers into tiny tools that today have countless applications. Half of the prize went to Strickland and her collaborator G\u00e9rard Mourou, a professor at the \u00c9cole Polytechnique in France. The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin, a retired physicist who worked at the renowned Bell Labs in the United States.<\/p>\n

Lasers, focused beams of light particles, were invented in the 1960s. Scientists immediately started tinkering with them, looking for ways to harness and manipulate these powerful devices.<\/p>\n

Strickland and Mourou found a way to stretch and compress lasers to produce short, intense pulses that are now used, among other things, in delicate surgeries to fix vision problems. Ashkin figured out a way to maneuver laser light so that it could push small particles toward the center of the beam, hold them in place, and even move them around. This technique became the delightfully named \u201coptical tweezer.\u201d It allowed Ashkin to use the power of light to capture and hold living bacteria and viruses without harming the organisms.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
