Isaac-Newton-Medaille

Die Isaac-Newton-Medaille i​st eine m​it 1000 £ (Stand 2014 ca. 1200 €) dotierte Auszeichnung, d​ie durch d​as britische Institute o​f Physics verliehen wird. Der Preis w​ird an weltweit tätige Physiker, für herausragende Leistungen i​n der Physik u​nd deren Teildisziplinen ausgelobt.

  • 2009 Alan Guth für die Theorie der kosmologischen Inflation.
  • 2010 Edward Witten für sein Wirken in der Teilchenphysik, Quantenfeldtheorie sowie der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie
  • 2011 Leo P. Kadanoff: For inventing conceptual tools that reveal the deep implications of scale invariance on the behavior of phase transitions and dynamical systems.
  • 2012 Martin Rees: For his outstanding contributions to relativistic astrophysics and cosmology.
  • 2013 John Pendry: For his seminal contributions to surface science, disordered systems and photonics.
