and canadian donna strickland the three were honored for their research in the field of laser physics. so did obvious science correspondent derrick wins is joining me now to tell us more about the nobel committee's decision so derek i want us to first look at this prize that was given to lisa physicists why is that why is that happening now with the academy group to together under one common name they called it to for tools of life now lasers play an amazing very very broad role in today's society is there in everything there from the barcode scanners there and just drives we use them in industry there lasers are actually everywhere so they decided to give a. prize that that would honor the people who have done some really groundbreaking work and some of the aspects of this particular field one of the for arthur ashton was for what they call optical tweezers which is using lasers to manipulate very very small organic bodies for example bacteria or viruses or even molecules you can use the laser to manipulate them at a very small scale and not have to kill that particular organism whic

program the nobel prize in physics goes to a woman for the first time in more than fifteen years donna strickland and two other scientists were all up for their groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics. i'm from gail welcome to the program or sources in indonesia say the death toll from last week's earthquake and tsunami is now more than twelve hundred meanwhile survivors a growing anger at the government's response with aid slow to arrive people in the disaster zone are running short of food fuel and other essentials. the days after the devastating earthquake and tsunami survivors are still struggling to get hold of eight fuel is in short supply here people are trying to collect as much pecial as they can officials are trying to assure them that more is on the way. and then. logistical aid is coming in so the support being offered to refugees is better compared to day one day two and even yesterday. we still need more time to take care of all the problems because supply chains have been disrupted in the disaster zone the money. each ship will have to contend with pirate touches an

reporter: lasers also fascinated donna strickland.long with her mentor, she won the other half of the nobel prize for physics. they invented a new method for creating ultrashort high-intensity laser beams called chirped pulse amplification. the technique produces strong and very precise pulses that do not damage surrounding material that's useful in a wide range of applications. >> that means that we can operate with high precision. that is important both for soldering, but also important if you u make small p parts that ao be inserted in the body. there you need to have the precision and also the reproducibility and making the small details. reporter: donna strickland is only the third women to win a nobel prize for physics. in a phone call during the press conference, she said -- >> well, obviously we need to celebrate women physicists, because we are out there. and hopefully in time it will start to move forward at a faster rate, maybe. i am honored to be one of those women. reporter: the e laser technology will burn her name and t

the accomplishments of their work something that was quite interesting though is the fact that donna strickland apparently is the first woman to win. this prize in physics for fifty five years in fact only only three women in total i understand have won the prize and she's joining us and it's really it's really i mean it's hard to believe she's joining a pretty exclusive club that if you have good includes marie curie. the nobel prizes in general women or dramatically under represented across the three for science prizes that are awarded but physics is really kind of the worst of the lot and i think. talking about that would go way beyond the scope of this particular conversation discussion as we're limited by time but i think it is changing and i think that we see it. in things like this in the award with the awarding of this particular prize because she really deserves it and i think it's going to we're going to see a trend in that direction more in the coming years especially because gender parity we know a conversation not only around the world but also within the nobel committee itself ver

yes, donna strickland from canada got the nobel prize for physics, she is there with two other scientistso do so for some time. the third woman i should say. she is the first woman in 65 years, yeah, she is, and my personal idol, marie curie, to be in that league is fantastic, but i was shocked when i heard that i think that the last three years there were no nobel prizes awarded to a woman. in science. yes, that was interesting. so having her in is great. it has been quite a week for firsts, the first female chief economist at the international monetary fund announced this week as well. so, quite some step forward. it isa well. so, quite some step forward. it is a step forward. and a necessary one. and a necessary one and at the end i hope that the most capable person is in, regardless of gender. absolutely, buti capable person is in, regardless of gender. absolutely, but i know that in stem subjects, science, technology and maths, they are trying to encourage young girls to ta ke trying to encourage young girls to take on the subjects, and this role model, donna strickland, will enable

much is being made of the fact that donna strickland is the first woman to win the nobel physics prize for fifty five years but what of the been so few well basically there are two reasons first is history of course the nominations are representation off the gender balance and science of about thirty years ago so thirty years ago there were few few of females in science there were also a lot but not as many as today of course for different reasons second reason would be because these female scientists were not rican as the over looked a lot of the times and are still today so it does happen so often that there's a man and even a name for it it's called matilda effect. for it's belgrano franklin you see so gender bias is a real thing and it's not just the feeling there is data for it. yes when one of the stories that was thinking about was out of funds or. through mia only it was suspended from work with the european nuclear research center after he said that physics was invented in bills by men and that male scientists were being discriminated against you touched on it in your first an

and the other half to a team of two physicists the frenchman gerard maule room and canadian donna strickland the three were honored for their research in the field of laser physics . and derek williams joins us here in the studio to tell us a little bit more about the nobel committee's decision and why exactly they've received this prize tell us a little bit more about laser physics and what they've accomplished these are two fairly widely divergent fields but what they do have in common is laser physics ashton's work involved what are called optical tweezers so they allowed us on a magnet he created a tool that allowed us on a microscopic level to to push around things like bacteria and viruses without actually killing them before them we had to actually kill them and fix them place in order to observe them so it allowed us to begin to observing these living systems which obviously had huge ramifications for fields like biology. on on the other hand the work done by more rules and and by strickland is it's about high intensity compact laser system so when you're creating a laser you have th

and donna strickland of canada were announced as the witness marouan strickland developed a way to create more powerful busts of laser lights with numerous supplications including eye surgery and ash can who's ninety six years old created treasonous tiny particles such as molecules and viruses how i can say is that i'm overwhelmed really i will tell you that over the years because this is for work done a long long time ago. somebody did comment actually somebody from the nobel prize think they think it's the first time that someone got it for their very first paper . so over the years when i've met people they have. you know i haven't got that nobel prize yet but i always thought they were kidding with me so i didn't ever think about the c.p.a. would merit that. yeah still obviously it's a real thrill and i'm looking forward to talking to you art about it they're warning of the price to a woman comes just a day after an italian physicist was suspended by cern the european organization for nuclear research for saying in a presentation that physics was invented a built by man don't forget t

gerard mourou of france and donna strickland of canada together developed a method to intensify laser beams in short pulses, which led to a number of applications, including laser eye surgery. do inna stricklajust the third woman in history to win a nobel in physics and she joins me now. dr. strickland, thank you for being with us. congratulations. i should point out, that method u developed was with dr. morou, with whom you share the prize. you did that work back when you were a graduate student. did you ever imagine that would lead the a nobel prize? no. certainly not when we were working on it. we thought it would be imrtant, but no. >> nawaz: what was that moment like when you got notification? >> it's 5:00 a.m., so your barely thinking,t east for me. it's surprising. it's one of those things you can't believe is happening to you. my husband and i were there going, oh, my goodness. >> nawaz: that work that we mentioned earlier, it has everyday applications. laser eye surgery is one people might be familiar wite whse can people see work? >> i don't know they would see it around the

joining me now to tell us more about the nobel committee's decision so ana we've just heard donna strickland the saying that we have to basically celebrate women physicists because they're there but i want to draw your attention to a d.w.i. article that's on today on all websites and it says of the twenty eighty nobel prize in physics recognize revolutions in laser physics and the lack of a revolution in equality i mean why it is so few women who've won these well first of all we're really happy that a woman was one now and we kind of expected it because it has been so long women have been for the longest time not to recognize or ignore it in science and that's because. of course back in the days thirty years ago when when denominations where. the right when the. committee member of the nobel prize actually said that the nominations reflect the gender balance of thirty years ago so that means that back in the days there were fewer scientists but there were also brilliant scientists just for various reasons so you have to take history into account as well but it's also because i think it's ca

physicistjim al—khalili tweeted how delicious that canadian laser physicist donna strickland shares thiseaking to the media. this is what she said about choosing her career path. i actually think that we all should do what we find fun and what we can do. my daughter was quite young she was being asked by her friends about me working rather than staying home and my answer is the world works best if we all do what we are good at. i have in any trained for three yea rs at. i have in any trained for three years and pretended she was much better looking after my children that i was. i said that was the case and she was considered the third pa rent and she was considered the third parent in the family. i was much better and tweaking lasers so i should be out there in the world doing that we should all do what we good at. did i ever think i should be doing something to help humanity? no, we should alljust do what we are good at and it helps the world. as for the prize itself, we wanted to get our heads around the research itself — so we set our science correspondent pallab ghosh a challenge. to

donna strickland, from canada, is only the third woman to win the award. in millions of eye operations each year. they share the prize with arthur ashkin for his work using high powered light to move objects. speaking at a news conference, doctor strickland said she was honoured to be part of the team which won the prize. all i can say is that i'm overwhelmed, really. iwill tell you that over the years, because this is for work done a long time ago, somebody did comment, someone from the nobel prize, they think is the first time ever someone got it for the very first paper. so over the yea rs the very first paper. so over the years when i have met people they have said haven't you got that nobel prize yet? but i always thought they we re prize yet? but i always thought they were getting with me, so i didn't ever think that the cpa would merit that. 0bviously, ever think that the cpa would merit that. obviously, it is a real breel and i'm looking forward to talking to gerard about it. people ask me that a lot too out of the 600 e—mails i have received so fa

donna strickland is a canadian scientist and is the third woman to ever win the prestigious award.olleague g rard mourou developed a way of generating very small high intensity laser pulses — a technique now used in millions of eye operations each year. they share the prize with arthur ashkin for his work using high powered light to move objects. i was reading today that this was work from her very first scientific paper. i do not know if anyone has been given a prize for their first scientific work. i would think that is pretty rare. but this technique she perfected is called pulse amplification and it is used in laser machines. it enables doctors to perform any millions of great of laser eye surgeries every year. this brings us mightily to the fact that this is one in the eye for that italian physicist yesterday who said "women get too much funding. they are promoted to positions of responsibility without deserving it". well, mr, take that. indeed, ta ke it". well, mr, take that. indeed, take that. you're right. and he really is interesting because one of the groups i follow on t

donna strickland became only the third woman to win the prize in physics and the first in 55 years. >y is i'm overwhelmed really. i will tell you that over the years, because this is for work done a long, long time ago, somebody did comment. actually somebody from the nobel prize, they think it's the first time ever that someone got it for the very first paper. >> strickland won the nobel in physics with scientists from the u.s. and france. their work paved the way for laser eye surgery to improve vision. it also helped to make lasers deliver more powerful flashes of light. >>> well, coming up on "cbs this morning," chelsea clinton tells us all about her latest book, "start now, you can make a difference." i'm anne-marie green.ie green. this is the "cbs morning news." tremfya® is for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. with tremfya®, you can get clearer. and stay clearer. in fact, most patients who saw 90% clearer skin at 28 weeks stayed clearer through 48 weeks. tremfya® works better than humira® at providing clearer skin, and more patients were symptom free with tremfya

remarkable that a woman when's a nobel prize it's just normal what that in mind would would donna strickland have to work a lot harder than happy as a male peers to get to where she is now. i daresay it's hard to marry because these things are always so individual right and i think that certainly women have been allowed into science a lot less frequently and a certain many demographics is a lot less frequently than as of lately but whether or not they work harder and that's kind of hard to answer when you talk a little bit about how getting women into these positions has been so low we're not looking at the whole of the population but what is it what is it looking like in the future what kind of numbers are we seeing coming through of young. physick physicians female physicians where well for the difficult it is not really the people that are for the intake it's that we have such a leaky pipeline and so release people women tend to fall out in senior ranks for a he there's a lot of research on this and you can go there you know you can get rid can see ever and ever again that there's not as

time until now donna strickland of the university of waterloo waterloo and i was awarded the twenty eighteen nobel prize in physics for her groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics it is for her work which she coauthored in nineteen eighty five in fact it was her very first published scientific paper the work was a discovery of a way to amplify the power of laser beams and short bursts which is the news in laser eye surgeries and help shift the laser industry into overdrive we're now able to use lasers because of her inventions in applications like cutting drilling data storage and surgical procedures all because of stock ones work seven coauthored the study the basis for her doctoral thesis with her ph d. adviser at the time gerard maru who shares credit and will share in the one million dollars prize money when asked what advice would give to her younger self she said hang on for the ride good advice you know for the ride like that advice from general motors and graduations. remember that it was our show today number one in this world we are told your love and love so i tell
