We are still in the middle of the Corona pandemic, but this year´s EMFL award ceremony took place already a little bit more festive than last year. This time, Dr. Denis Gorbunov, staff member and local contact at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD-EMFL), had the honor to receive the prize, at the occasion of the EMFL user meeting. Due to the unusual circumstances, given the virtual ambience of the event, Jochen Wosnitza, director of the HLD-EMFL, was forced to hand over the award directly through the screen. Dr. Denis Gorbunov received the award for his pioneering work in the field of magnetism, in particular for his research on rare-earth transition-metal compounds using a broad suite of experimental techniques, including x-ray experiments at very high, pulsed magnetic fields. Since 2009, the EMFL members award annually the EMFL prize for exceptional achievements in science done in high magnetic fields.
