Citation Prof. Bernhard Keimer: 
"For illuminating neutron and X-ray scattering experiments revealing resonant magnetic excitations and ordering phenomena in cuprate superconductors" 

Citation Prof. Giacomo Ghiringhelli:
"For pioneering resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments on cuprate superconductors"

Citation Prof. Pengcheng  Dai:

The HEIKE KAMERLINGH ONNES PRIZE (http://kamerlingh-onnes-prize.ch) was established in 2000 by the organizers of the International Conference on the Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity (M2S) and is sponsored by Elsevier, Publisher of Physica C - Superconductivity and its Applications. The Prize, consisting of 7500 € and a certificate, recognizes outstanding experiments which illuminate the nature of superconductivity other than materials and will be awarded during the M2S-HTSC meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, to be held July 17-22, 2022.

SUBMISSION CLOSED ON NOVEMBER 1, 2021

About Heike Kamerlingh Onnes

Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (21 September 1853 – 21 February 1926) was a Dutch physicist and Nobel laureate. Kamerlingh Onnes measured the electrical conductivity of pure metals at very low temperatures. 

On 8 April 1911, Kamerlingh Onnes found that at 4.2 K the resistance in a solid mercury wire immersed in liquid helium suddenly vanished. He immediately realized the significance of the discovery (as became clear when his notebook was deciphered a century later). He reported that "Mercury has passed into a new state, which on account of its extraordinary electrical properties may be called the superconductive state". He published more articles about the phenomenon, initially referring to it as "supraconductivity" and, only later adopting the term "superconductivity". 

Kamerlingh Onnes received widespread recognition for his work, including the 1913 Nobel Prize in Physics for (in the words of the committee) "his investigations on the properties of matter at low temperatures which led, inter alia, to the production of liquid helium".
