Townes was also known for his strong spiritual faith and spoke often about the convergence of science and religion, infuriating many in both communities.
In 2005, Townes won the Templeton Prize for progress toward research or discoveries about spiritual realities.
"My own view is that, while science and religion may seem different, they have many similarities and should interact and enlighten each other," he wrote.
