Professor Michael Tarbutt receives the Joseph Thomson Medal and Prize for pioneering experimental and theoretical work on the production of ultracold molecules by laser cooling, and the applications of those molecules to quantum science and tests of fundamental physics.Professor Erminia Calabrese receives the Fred Hoyle Medal and Prize for distinguished work on observational cosmology using the Cosmic Microwave Background to study the origins, content and evolution of the universe, and to probe new regimes of physics.Professor Jonathan N Coleman receives the David Tabor Medal and Prize for groundbreaking research into developing the liquid phase exfoliation process, a scalable method for converting layered materials into two-dimensional nanosheets in large quantities.Professor Kieran Thomas Flanagan receives the Ernest Rutherford Medal and Prize for pioneering contributions to laser spectroscopy of exotic nuclei, particularly the use of resonance ionisation and its application to single-atom sensitivity in mass spectrometry and trace-metal analysis for environmental testing.Professor Thomas F Krauss receives the Thomas Young Medal and Prize for pioneering contributions to semiconductor photonic nanostructures.Our Silver Subject Medals are awarded annually to recognise and reward distinguished contributions to physics. Dr Sharon Ann Holgate receives the William Thomson, Lord Kelvin Medal and Prize for work in communicating science to a wide variety of audiences and for positive representations of scientists from non-traditional backgrounds.Dr Eilish McLoughlin receives the Lawrence Bragg Medal and Prize for outstanding leadership in physics teacher education and significant impact on the learning and teaching of physics in Ireland.

Dr Andrew James Shields receives the Katharine Burr Blodgett Medal and Prize for pioneering industrial R&D over two decades on quantum communication devices and systems, leading to their commercial exploitation in the UK.Dr Peter Thompson receives the Richard Glazebrook Medal and Prize for outstanding leadership of the National Physical Laboratory and the sustained impact of metrology on UK prosperity and quality of life.Professor Nikolay I Zheludev receives the Michael Faraday Medal and Prize for international leadership, discoveries and in-depth studies of new phenomena and functionalities in photonic nanostructures and nanostructured matter.Professor Michael William Finnis receives the Paul Dirac Medal and Prize for for opening entire areas of materials physics to rigorous theory and atomic-scale computation, including atomic interactions, irradiation damage, metal–ceramic interfaces, grain boundary embrittlement and ab initio thermodynamics of open systems.
