It has just been announced that John Pendry has been awarded a UNESCO-Niels Bohr gold medal. This prestigious award is made annually by the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen for outstanding contributions to Physics and John will receive it at a ceremony in Denmark in November for his "ground-breaking contributions to meta-materials".

This comes hot on the heels of an honorary degree bestowed on John by Duke University last month and notice of an honorary degree from the University of Erlangen to be awarded next year.

Many congratulations to John for these fantastic achievements!
