Arthur Ashkin
The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics has not been awarded yet. It will be announced on Tuesday 8 October, 11:45 a.m. at the earliest.
“for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics”
Arthur Ashkin “for the optical tweezers and their application to biological systems”
Gérard Mourou and
Donna Strickland “for their method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses”
François Englert and
Peter W. Higgs
“for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our
understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which
recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted
fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large
Hadron Collider”
Yoichiro Nambu “for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics”
Makoto Kobayashi and
Toshihide Maskawa
“for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts
the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature”
Roy J. Glauber“for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence”
John L. Hall and
Theodor W. Hänsch“for
their contributions to the development of laser-based precision
spectroscopy, including the optical frequency comb technique”
Raymond Davis Jr. and
Masatoshi Koshiba “for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, in particular for the detection of cosmic neutrinos”
Riccardo Giacconi “for pioneering contributions to astrophysics, which have led to the discovery of cosmic X-ray sources”
