Friedrich Wagner from the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP), Greifswald Branch, has been awarded the Stern-Gerlach Medal 2009 by the German Physical Society (DPG) for his work in high-temperature physics and fusion research. This prestigious award for achievements in experimental physics honours, in particular, his discovery of self-organized transport barriers as a milestone on the way to producing fusion plasmas. The medal is to be presented this coming year at the annual conference of the DPG.
