Wang Enge, a physicist from the CAS Institute of Physics, has been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Bonn, Germany.

Prof. Wang has made many groundbreaking contributions to computational material science, in particular surface physics, says Chairman of Humboldt Foundation Wolfgang Fruhwald. For example, he has advanced current understanding of the mechanisms and kinetics of nanostructure growth and has guided the synthesis of novel materials with new functionalities, such as 'tubular graphite cones' and polymerized carbon-nitrogen 'nanobells,' he adds.

Each year the foundation grants up to 100 Humboldt Research awards to scientists and scholars with internationally recognized academic qualifications. The awards honor the lifetime academic achievements of the winners. Since the establishment of the award in 1972, four scientists from China mainland have won the prize. Wang is the only laureate of the award from China mainland this year.
