About the Award
A tradition of curiosity
British Young Physicist of the Year honours students whose understanding of the physical world is already remarkable — and whose potential is greater still.
I
A national stage
The award gives exceptional young physicists a platform worthy of their curiosity — recognition that follows them into university, research and beyond.
II
Rigour and imagination
We look for more than correct answers. We look for original thinking, clear communication and the courage to pursue an idea to its end.
III
Into the laboratory
Winners step inside world-class facilities — the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Diamond Light Source — and meet the scientists working there.
