Award for outstanding contributions to experimental physics
This article is about the medal and prize awarded by the Institute of Physics (IOP). For other prizes named after Michael Faraday, see
Faraday Prize (disambiguation).
Award
Institute of Physics Michael Faraday Medal & Prize
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]
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

2022
Nikolay Zheludev, "For international leadership, discoveries and in-depth studies of new phenomena and functionalities in photonic nanostructures and nanostructured matter."
2021
Bucker Dangor, "For outstanding contributions to experimental plasma physics, and in particular for his role in the development of the field of laser-plasma acceleration."
2020
Richard Ellis, "For over 35 years of pioneering contributions in faint-object astronomy, often with instruments he funded and constructed, which have opened up the early universe to direct observations."
2019
Roy Taylor, "For his extensive, internationally leading contributions to the development of spectrally diverse, ultrafast-laser sources and pioneering fundamental studies of nonlinear fibre optics that have translated to scientific and commercial application."[4]
2018
Jennifer Thomas, "For her outstanding investigations into the physics of neutrino oscillations, in particular her leadership of the MINOS/MINOS+ long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment."[5][6][7]
2017
Jeremy Baumberg, "For his investigations of many ingenious nanostructures supporting novel and precisely engineered plasmonic phenomena relevant to single molecule and atom dynamics, Raman spectroscopies and metamaterials applications."[8]
2016
Jenny Nelson," For her pioneering advances in the science of nanostructured and molecular semiconductor materials "
2014
Alexander Giles Davies and
Edmund Linfield, "For their outstanding and sustained contributions to the physics and technology of the far-infrared (terahertz) frequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum"[10][11][12]
2013
Edward Hinds, "For his innovative and seminal experimental investigations into ultra-cold atoms and molecules"
2011
Alan Andrew Watson, "For his outstanding leadership within the
Pierre Auger Observatory, and the insights he has provided to the origin and nature of ultra high energy cosmic rays"[13]
2010
Athene Donald, "For her many highly original studies of the structures and behaviour of polymers both synthetic and natural"
2008
Roger Cowley, "For pioneering work in the development and application of neutron and X-ray scattering techniques to the physics of a wide range of important solid and liquid-state systems"
Guthrie medalists
2007
