The
Spanish Royal Physics Society (RSEF) has announced today the names of the laureates of this year edition of the
RSEF Physics Prizes. These prizes are granted yearly, with the financial support of the BBVA Foundation, to Spanish nationals or to scientists of any nationality working in Spain. The full list, including the names of Jury members and the motives for awarding the prizes, can be found in

The RSEF medal, the highest scientific recognition of the Spanish Royal Physics Society, consisting of a commemorative medal and a cash award of 15000 euros, has been granted to Pablo Jarillo Herrero, Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The RSEF medal recognizes Professor Jarillo-Herrero exceptional and ground-breaking work on twisted heterostructures (graphene on hBN and twisted bilayer graphene) and, specifically, his discovery of correlated insulating behavior and unconventional superconductivity in magic angle graphene superlattices. These remarkable discoveries have constituted the beginning of a completely new field: strongly correlated physics in 2D Moiré superlattices.
