OSA Today

This year’s Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics was awarded to OSA Fellow Tony Heinz, chair of OSA’s Board of Editors, and Phaedon Avouris for their pioneering work on the electrical and optical properties of nanoscale carbon materials, including carbon nanotubes—from basic science to exciting applications. The award, accompanied by $5,000, was presented at the Julius Springer Forum on Applied Physics at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A., on September 27, 2008.
