This year’s Christmas gift?

Necklace and ear rings in silver inspired by the Nobel Prize 2018 in physics. A short laser pulse, stretched in time, amplified and squeezed together again.

 

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 was awarded to Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland “for their method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses.” The technique they developed has led to broad medical applications; for example, millions of eye operations are performed every year with the sharpest of laser beams.
