It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Boris Zemva, Professor at the University of Ljubljana and Director of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Technology at the Jozef Stefan Institute (IJS) in Slovenia. He was recognised throughout the world as one of the best scientists in the inorganic fluorine chemistry, high-energy oxidizers and coordination compounds with noble gas fluorides as ligands. His worldwide reputation has allowed his research group at the IJS to rise to the forefront of laboratories working with fluorine and fluorinated materials. Prof. Zemva was an EurASc Fellow since 2010, member of ou Chemistry Division.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends and colleagues.

Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier – 2023 Physics Nobel Prize laureates

Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier  – 2023 Physics Nobel Prize laureates

The European Academy of Sciences is thrilled to share that two of its members, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier, have been named among the 2023 Nobel Laureates in Physics for their groundbreaking work in generating attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter. 

Additionally, Pierre Agostini was also honored for his contributions to this field. 

We are proud to have such innovative and accomplished individuals among our membership. 

Congratulations to all three on this well-deserved recognition!

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”
 
The 2023 Nobel Prize laureates in physics are being recognised for their experiments, which have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier have demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy.
 
The laureates’ contributions have enabled the investigation of processes that are so rapid they were previously impossible to follow.
 
There are potential applications in many different areas. In electronics, for example, it is important to understand and control how electrons behave in a material. Attosecond pulses can also be used to identify different molecules, such as in medical diagnostics.

Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture – Winner 2024

Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture – Winner 2024

Professor Mohan Edirisinghe OBE, FREng, University College London awarded by The Royal Society with Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture 2024 for seminal research in engineering science of making small structures from soft matter in novel scalable ways, creating new frontiers in functional applications causing major advances in manufacturing and healthcare.

The Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture is given for outstanding contributions in the field of engineering. The lectureship was originally endowed by The General Electric Company in memory of Clifford Paterson FRS, who founded the GEC Research Laboratories in 1919. Originally the lectures were given on electrical science and technology but this was later broadened to any aspect of engineering. The first lecture was given in 1975. The medal is of bronze, is awarded biennially and is accompanied by a gift of £2,000.
