The Michael Faraday Medal and Prize is a gold medal awarded annually by the Institute of Physics in experimental physics.[1] The award is made "for outstanding and sustained contributions to experimental physics." The medal is accompanied by a prize of £1000 and a certificate.[2]
(1791 - 1867)
Historical development
- 1914-1965 Guthrie Lecture initiated to remember Frederick Guthrie,[3] founder of the Physical Society (which merged with the Institute of Physics in 1960).
- 1966-2007 Guthrie Medal and Prize (in response to changed conditions from when the lecture was first established). From 1992, it became one of the Institute's Premier Awards.
- 2008–present Michael Faraday Medal and Prize
Medalists and lecturers
Faraday medalists
