David Bishop wins prestigious prize for his contributions to understanding superfluids
David Bishop was awarded the 2026 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize on November 5, 2025, for groundbreaking experiments that uncovered the role of vortices in the superfluid phase transition in helium films and observed anyonic braiding statistics of quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect, thus establishing the significance of topological excitations in two-dimensions.
