Nobel Prize, established by a Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel in 1895
and announced by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,
is awarded in recognition of someone whose work contributes significantly in
the area of chemistry, physics, literature, peace,
and physiology or medicine.
I have also been involved in super-resolution microscopy reasearch (see my publications here). In addition, we have assembled one of such kind of microscopes in North
Carolina State University. With my experience in this field, let me describe this years Nobel prize to you.
