Professor Dr Gerd Schön, professor at the Institut für Theoretische Festkörperphysik (Institute for Theoretical Solid-state Physics) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, receives the renowned Fritz London Memorial Prize awarded by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics for his contributions to the understanding of superconductivity in nano systems. Alongside Schön, two other scientists are honoured in this manner: Professor Humphrey Maris from Brown University, Rhode Island, USA, and Professor Johan E. Mooij from the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands. The award will be presented in August during the International Conference on Low-temperature Physics in Beijing, China. The Fritz London Memorial Prize commemorates the German-American physicist Fritz London and his excellent contributions to low-temperature physics. The prize is awarded by the IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) every three years.
