The Erwin Schrodinger Prize for Interdisciplinary Research, awarded by the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centres, will go to a research team from the Institute of Nanotechnology of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe this year. The jury wishes to honour the team of physicists and chemists in this way for its excellent interdisciplinary achievements in the field of nanotechnology. Professor Walter Kroll, President of the Helmholtz Association, will present the award worth 50,000 euros to the research team at the Helmholtz Annual General Assembly on 7 December 2004 in the Concert Noble in Brussels.
