The American Optical Society's Max Born Award was given to Professor Moti Segev from the Technion Physics Faculty, for his "groundbreaking work in the field of optical solitons" (a soliton is a packet of waves that behaves like a particle).
The award, named after Max Born, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954, who made an enormous contribution to physics in general and optics in particular, is given by the association for an exceptional contribution to physical, theoretical or experimental optics. The award was given for the first time in 1982, the centenary of Max Born's birth.
The Max Born Award is considered the most prestigious professional award given by the association. In 2007, Professor Segev won the most important award in Europe in the field of optics
EPS Quantum Electronics Prize. In 2008 he won the Landau Prize. Winning the two most prestigious awards in Europe and the USA in the field of optics testifies to the leadership of the Technion in particular and the State of Israel in general in this field.

Are you proposing to ignore existing information just because in the future new information will be created?
By the way, since a soliton is something defined as defined by humans - there is no reason for its definition to ever change. Expecting the description of the soliton in Wikipedia to change is like expecting the definition of the word "red" in the dictionary to change.
Until the Hebrew wiki is updated with new information 🙁

Correction: not a jubilee but a century..
Beautiful. It would have been nice if he had added some explanatory material about the above-mentioned solitons.
*What is the "hundredth jubilee"? It should be written simply Yuval.
