Professor Stanley's research on the structure of liquid water led to the 1989 British Petroleum Venture Research Award. Four of his papers have appeared in the listing by Science Citation Index of the one hundred most-cited physics articles of the year. He has pioneered the introduction of advanced technology into science and mathematics education. His book Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena (1971) won a Choice Award for best academic book of the year. He has authored or edited twenty other books and more than 1,000 journal articles. His book Fractal Forms (1992) was chosen as the official catalogue for the exhibit of the same title at the Palais de la Découverte in Paris. In 1992 Professor Stanley was presented the Massachusetts Professor of the Year Award by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). He has been elected to Fellowship in the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was awarded the Rictmeyer and Turnbull Prizes and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Professor Stanley was the recipient of the 2001 National Science Foundation Director's Award for Distinguished Teaching Scholar, awarded for those who excel in both teaching and research. He was awarded the 2002 Memory Ride Prize for research on Alzheimer's disease, and IBM awarded Boston University a one million dollar computer to continue that research in new directions. In 2001 he received from the Institute of Scientific Information the Science Citation Index "Highly-Cited Award" for being among the 100 most-cited physicists worldwide. In 2003 Professor Stanley was awarded the Nicholson Medal for Humanitarian Service which recognizes the humanitarian aspects of physics and physicists. In 2004 he received the Boltzmann Award, in recognition of his ground-breaking research that led to a new sub-field of statistical physics. During the same year Professor Stanley was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
