Denis Gabor

Dennis Gabor was a Hungarian-British physicist best known for inventing holography, a technique that creates three-dimensional images. He developed this concept in the 1940s while exploring ways to improve electron microscopes. Gabor's innovation allows light waves to be recorded and reconstructed in a way that preserves depth and perspective, producing realistic 3D images. His work has applications in data storage, imaging, and display technologies. Gabor's contributions earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971, recognizing his impact on optics and imaging sciences.
