Otto-Klung-Weberbank Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Otto-Klung-Weberbank Prize is an annual German science award for young scientists in Germany.
The prize is awarded annually, alternating between Chemistry and Physics. From 1973 to 2000, it was known as the Otto-Klung Prize, taking the current name when Weberbank began sponsoring the prize in 2001. The prize fund is one of the largest in Germany.
The 2001 prize was originally awarded to Jan Hendrik Schön, then working at Bell Labs. He was stripped of the prize after his work was found to have been fraudulent.
