Dirac Medal goes to condensed matter physicists

Sam Edwards of Cambridge University and Patrick Lee of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been awarded this year's Dirac Medal by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics. Edwards wins the prize for "his fundamental contributions to polymer physics, spin glass theory and the physics of granular matter", while Lee is recognized for "his pioneering contributions to our understanding of disordered and strongly interacting many-body systems".
