   Russian physicist scoops low temperature award 25 June 2004

   Grigory Volovik from the Landau Institute of Theoretical Physics in
   Moscow and the Helsinki University of Technology has won the 2004
   Simon Memorial Prize. The prize, which is awarded every three years
   for distinguished work in experimental or theoretical
   low-temperature physics, was announced by the Low Temperature Group
   of the Institute of Physics this week.

   Volovik was chosen for the award for his pioneering research on the
   effects of symmetry in superfluids and superconductors and for
   extending these concepts to quantum field theory, cosmology, quantum
   gravity and particle physics.

   "Grigory Volovik is an outstanding theorist who has shown how novel
   ideas and experiments from low-temperature physics might lead to a
   new understanding about the early universe and particle physics, in
   a unique synthesis," said Mike Lea, Chair of the selection panel for
   the prize. Volovik, who recently wrote a book on his work called The
   Universe in a Helium Droplet, will receive the award at a Simon
   Memorial Prize conference in London in September. At this
   conference, he will also present a lecture called "Emergent physics:
   a condensed matter primer".
