Discover Science: David Wineland, Nobel laureate physicist

In 2012, David Wineland won a share of the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in quantum physics. He was able to trap ions using cleverly-designed experiments that allowed him to study what was happening on a quantum level when matter and light interact. He worked at the National Institute of Standards for 42 years studying atomic clocks, and his research interests are currently focused in application of quantum physics.
