2020 Nobel Prize in Physics Awarded

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics celebrates what the Nobel Committee calls "one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe." Black holes are the star of this year's physics Nobel Prize: one half is awarded to mathmatician Roger Penrose and the other half goes jointly to astrophysicists Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez. SPIE congratulates Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel, and Andrea Ghez for their accomplishments. To celebrate, SPIE is providing their SPIE publications free to the community.
