🚀 Nobel Prize-winning physicist Gerard Mourou is taking his groundbreaking work on extreme light to new heights in China! 🇨🇳
\"I'm going to work on extreme light for medical and energy fields,\" Mourou shared on Friday, revealing his exciting plans at the Beijing Forum.
The French physicist, who snagged the Nobel in 2018 \"for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics,\" has joined Peking University's School of Physics as a chair professor. Talk about a power move! 💥
At the forum's opening ceremony, Mourou dazzled the audience with visions of ultra-high-intensity lasers transforming everything from medicine to nuclear energy. Imagine lasers saving lives and powering the future! 🔬⚡
He's not the only big name making waves in China. Fields Medalist Caucher Birkar is crunching numbers at Tsinghua University, and structural biologist Yan Nieng just set up a medical academy in Shenzhen. China is becoming a magnet for top-tier talent! 🧲🌟
Mourou is set to help establish a new institute focused on laser physics, particle physics, nuclear physics, medical physics, and astrophysics. Basically, all the cool stuff! 🚀🛰️
He couldn't help but praise China's scientific strides: \"I knew some of the scientists, and they are interested in what I'm doing.\" They must have been pretty convincing! 😉
Mourou also gave a shoutout to Chinese students, noting that they excel in innovation—not just acing exams. Props to the next-gen geniuses! 👩🔬👨🔬
The 2024 Beijing Forum is buzzing with over 500 scholars and experts from over 30 countries and regions, diving into hot topics like sustainable development, AI, and health. It's the place to be for anyone passionate about shaping the future! 🌍🤖
\"The best is yet to come,\" Mourou teased about the future of his research. We can't wait to see what's next! ✨
