Physicist from the University of Stuttgart receives one of the highest endowed prizes for young scientists in the natural sciences
Physicist from the University of Stuttgart receives one of the highest endowed prizes for young scientists in the natural sciences Dr. Tim Langen, research group leader at the University of Stuttgart, has been awarded the Rudolf Kaiser Prize 2019. The prize is among the most prestigious and highly endowed research awards for young researchers in Germany. It is awarded annually to a young experimental physicist with extraordinary scientific achievements. Dr. Langen receives the prize in recognition of his work on superfluidity and supersolidity of dipolar quantum gases, in particular the observation of a novel state of matter that combines the crystal order of a solid with the frictionless flow of a superfluid. Usually, matter exists in three states - solid, liquid and gas. Dr. Tim Langen studies ensembles of atoms and molecules that are cooled down to near absolute zero at -273.15 degrees Celsius. At these low temperatures the effects of quantum physics can become important and other, more exotic states of matter can arise.
