UGO FANO PRIZE

Ugo Fano Gold Medal & Ugo Fano Symposium

17 Dec 2015, Marconi Hall, CNR, Rome

The winners of the Ugo Fano Prize 2015 of the Rome International Center for Material Science SUPERSTRIPES (RICMASS) are:

Lev P. Gor'kov Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, USA		Mikhail I. Eremets Max-Planck-Institut für Chemie, Mainz, Germany

in recognition of their achievements  in the field of high temperature superconductors.

The Ugo Fano Gold Medal has been assigned to Lev P. Gor'kov for the theory of two components of the electronic liquid in cuprates superconductors. L. Gor’kov has given key contributions to the foundation of the general theory of superconductivity.

The Ugo Fano Gold Medal has been assigned to Mikhail I. Eremets for the discovery of superconductivity above the lowest recorded Earth temperature in pressurized sulfur hydride. M. Eremets has contributed with key experiments to unveil phases of matter in extreme conditions.

The recipients have received the Ugo Fano Gold Medal at the Ugo Fano Gold Medal Ceremony on Dec 17, 2015 in Marconi Hall of CNR, Rome Italy.

Gold Medal Ceremony 2016

UGO FANO PRIZE 2016
for Materials Science, Light Science & Life Science

Rome Nov 1st, 2016 we are pleased to announce the

Winner of the 2016 Ugo Fano Gold Medal

John Pendry Professor Sir Blackett Laboratory Imperial College London, UK Scientific reference: J. B. Pendry, Negative Refraction Makes a Perfect Lens, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 3966 (2000) Personal web page: http://www.cmth.ph.ic.ac.uk/photonics/Newphotonics/

John Pendry has made seminal contributions to surface science, disordered systems and photonics. His most recent work has introduced a new class of materials, metamaterials, whose electromagnetic properties depend on their internal structure rather than their chemical constitution. Pendry discovered that a ‘perfect lens’ manufactured from negatively refracting material would circumvent Abbé’s diffraction limit to spatial resolution, which has stood for more than a century. His most recent innovation of ‘transformation optics’ gives the metamaterial specifications required to rearrange electromagnetic field configurations at will, by representing the field distortions as a warping of the space in which they exist. In its simplest form the theory shows how we can direct field lines around a given obstacle and thus provide a ‘cloak of invisibility’, which was first realised at Duke in 2006.
