Research - Munich solid-state physicist receives Leibniz Prize
Munich-based solid-state physicist Dmitri Efetov has been awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize 2024, endowed with 2.5 million euros, the German Research Foundation (DFG) announced in Bonn on Thursday. Efetov heads the Chair of Experimental Solid State Physics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
The 43-year-old receives the award for his "pioneering work" with graphene, an ultra-thin layer of carbon atoms. His basic research could be used to develop superconductors in the future. This loss-free variant of electricity transmission is necessary for medical applications, for example, and could also revolutionize power grids.
The award winners can use the prize money for their research work for up to seven years. The ten award winners will be presented with their prizes on March 13, 2024 in Berlin. The award, which has been presented annually by the DFG since 1986, is regarded as the most important research funding prize in Germany.
