On September 16, 2005, we remember Gordon Gould, the American physicist who coined the term "laser" (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). His pioneering work not only transformed optics and communications but also laid a foundation for nuclear energy technologies through his contributions to uranium isotope separation during World War II.
Gould's innovations remind us how breakthroughs in one field often spark advancements across the entire energy landscape—shaping technologies that power the modern world.
