This year's Frank Isakson Prize for Optical Effects in Solids has been awarded to Andrea Cavalleri, Max Planck Institute & University of Oxford, and Keith A. Nelson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The award was created to recognize outstanding optical research that leads to breakthroughs in the condensed matter sciences, and the prize consists of $5,000, an allowance for travel to the meeting of the Society at which the prize is being presented and a certificate citing the contributions made by the recipient.
Please join us on Tuesday 6th March at the Elsevier booth #803 from 4pm to honor the winners, and to thank all of our reviewers.
The prize was established in 1979, and from 1994 has been supported by the journal Solid State Communications.
