The 4th Heinrich Rohrer Medal -Grand Medal- (2024)

  Franz J. Giessibl

Universität Regensburg, Germany

For the invention of the qPlus force sensor, which proved that sub-atomic spatial resolution is achievable in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning probe microscopy (SPM), revolutionizing their range of applications for both AFM and SPM.

Award Achievements

  Wilson Ho

University of California, Irvine, USA

For the development of scanning tunneling microscopy-based inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (STM-IETS), enabling the detection of various chemical and physical properties of single atoms and molecules, thereby opening up quantitative science by STM.

Award Achievements


The 4th Heinrich Rohrer Medal -Rising Medal- (2024)

  Yi Chen (born in 1992)

Peking University, China

For the pioneering contributions that have pushed the boundaries of scanning tunneling microscopy along two directions which are the creation of the first atomic scale multi-qubit platform and the innovative visualization of exotic excitations in a quantum spin liquid."

Award Achievements

  Miyabi Imai-Imada (born in 1988)

RIKEN, Japan

For the significant achievement of the first atomic-scale visualization of photocurrent channels within a single molecule by the development of resonant fluorescence utilizing tunable laser techniques for single-molecule spectroscopy.
