Lichtenberg Medal

The Lichtenberg Medal (German: Lichtenberg-Medaille) is the highest award of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities, which it established in memory of the Göttingen scholar Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. Since 2004, it has been awarded annually (every two years from 2015) to "outstanding scientists who are respected by the public". The winner receives a gold medal and a certificate.

The Academy selects the laureate on the recommendation of either the Mathematical-Physical or the Philological-Historical Class. The right of nomination changes between the two classes.

Laureates

gollark: Why do I keep typing that?
gollark: Without the minus.
gollark: Correction: there is no minus sign, it's just -L dI/dt.
gollark: Resistance means that V = IR for some constant R (the resistance), inductance means that V = -L dI/dt for some constant L (the inductance).
gollark: This is a clock signal input connected to an N-MOSFET, which just switches between unreasonably high resistance and low resistance at 1kHz.
