Kamerlingh Onnes Prize
The Kamerling Onnes Prize is a prize for experiments on superconductivity that has been awarded every three years since 2000 by the International Conference on the Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity (M2S) at its conference. It is named after the discoverer of superconductivity Heike Kamerlingh Onnes .
The award is endowed with $ 7,500 and is sponsored by Elsevier, editor of Physica C, a magazine that deals with superconductivity.
It should not be confused with the Kamerlingh Onnes Prize of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Vereniging voor Koude (KNVvK) for low-temperature physics and technology, which has been awarded every four years since 1950 and is associated with a gold medal.
