Humboldt Research Award for Uwe-Jens Wiese

Physicist from Bern collaborates with the Helmholtz Institute at the University of Bonn. Uwe-Jens Wiese from the University of Bern receives a research award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Ulf-G. Meißner of the Helmholtz Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics at the University of Bonn nominated the scientist for the award. The two have known and appreciated each other for a long time and now want to further develop new methods together. The prize is endowed with 60,000 euros. The scientist from Germany, who has been working at the University of Bern for around 20 years, is involved not only in particle physics but also in condensed matter physics, which deals with a wide range of systems: In addition to magnets and superconductors, these include, for example, quantum liquids or so-called Bose-Einstein condensates.
