Information,

In commemoration of 2011 – the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of superconductivity by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes – the European Physical Society would like to highlight some fascinating websites which offer information on superconductors, one of the most exciting fields within condensed-matter physics.

All about superconductivity is a website by the Institut de Physique du CNRS, the Triangle de la Physique, and the Société Française de Physique, offering an interactive and exciting look into the world of superconductors.

The IOP Science website is offering free 100 articles around the topic; including pieces on the newly discovered iron-based superconductors, and a number of articles by Nobel Prize Laureates.

The 100 articles – selected from the journals EPL, Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, New Journal of Physics, Physica Scripta and Superconductor Science and Technology – will be available until 31 December this year.

The SIF awards 2011 Enrico Fermi prize

The 2011 Enrico Fermi prize of the Italian Physical Society (Società Italiana di Fisica, SIF) has been awarded, for work in the field of experimental particle physics, to Dieter Haidt of the DESY Laboratory at Hamburg and to Antonino Pullia of the University of Milano Bicocca and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, "for their fundamental contribution to the discovery of weak neutral currents with the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN".

The prize is awarded yearly to members of the society who especially honour physics by their discoveries. The prize was first awarded in 2001, to commemorate the centenary of the great scientist’s birth...
