Gérard Mourou Life story
Gérard Albert Mourou is a French scientist and pioneer in the field of electrical engineering and lasers. He was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, along with Donna Strickland, for the invention of chirped pulse amplification, a technique later used to create ultrashort-pulse, very high-intensity laser pulses.

Physics Nobel Prize rewards science on a 'tiny timescale'
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics rewards experiments with light that capture " The shortest of moments".
The award goes to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier.
Their work demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure The rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy.
The Winners will share prize money of 10 million Swedish Krona (£800,000).
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, announced on Monday, was awarded to a pair of scientists who developed The technology that led to The mRNA Covid vaccines.
Professors Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman shared The Prize .
