2021 Gold Medal Award
AWARD CITATION
The team is cited for scientific breakthroughs in device design and materials development to produce cameras containing thousands of novel sensors for detecting terahertz and millimeter-wave radiation. The team’s new sensors will enable imaging arrays of unprecedented size and sensitivity for a range of future terrestrial and astrophysical applications. The sensors have already been used on a NASA balloon mission and in TolTEC, a camera for the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano, the world’s largest single-dish steerable millimeter-wavelength telescope.
