Top science award for 3 physicists
Print Edition
Three renowned physicists have been honored with this year鈥檚 Fudan-Zhongzhi Science Award.
Professor Michael Berry of the University of Bristol, Professor Charles Kane of the University of Pennsylvania and academician Xue Qikun of the Chinese Academy of Sciences received the honor at a ceremony in Shanghai on Sunday.
Berry is known for introducing the geometric phase in basic quantum mechanics. Known as the Berry phase, it serves as a basic concept to understand a number of important systems in condensed matter physics such as the quantum Hall effect..
Kane has proposed many key theoretical concepts that generated the field of topological insulators in 2007. The revolutionary material known as the 鈥渘ext big thing鈥 after graphene insulates the interior of electronic devices but conducts electricity on the surfaces because it only allows electrons to move along the surfaces.
Xue is best known for the discovery of the quantum anomalous Hall effect, which was described by Nobel laureate and physicist Chen-Ning Yang as qualified for Nobel Prize.
