Description
The 2005 Dirac Medal and Prize will be awarded to Sam Edwards for being a founder of the modern discipline of "soft" condensed matter physics with fundamental contributions to polymer physics, to spin glass theory, and to the physics of granular matter. Patrick A. Lee for his pioneering contributions to the fundamental understanding of disordered and strongly-interacting many-body systems.
