Congratulations to Professor Gérard Mourou on award of the Nobel Prize in physics

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 “for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics” with one half to Arthur Ashkin and the other half jointly to Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland. Mourou and Strickland each receive a quarter of the prize for the new technique called Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) that paved the way for the shortest and most intense laser pulses ever created.

WHAT CAN WE CONTRIBUTE TO ICAN?

The one-day workshop "WHAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ICAN?" will be held on December 16, 2013 at the University of Nizhny Novgorod. It is dedicated to prospective participation of Russian research institutions and universities in the upcoming European megaproject on the development of a "dream laser" capable to deliver light with Petawatt peak and Megawatt average power. Such a source will undoubtedly create a revolution in societal application of high peak power lasers, harnessing a full range of technologies from laser based radiation medicine to nuclear waste processing.

Anton Skryl, ELSA lab junior researcher, and Dr. B. Jackson of the Univ. of Michigan carried out an experiment on visualizing the internal structure of the fresco “Three men with spears” at the Centre for Research and Restoration of the French Museum

It is expected that drawings dating back to the epoch of the Rome Empire are hidden under the fresco. The fresco was sounded by terahertz radiation in the reflecting mode by the Picometrix T-Ray 4000 spectrometer. The obtained data are currently analyzed.
