The Dennis Gabor Medal and Prize (previously the Duddell Medal and Prize until 2008) is a prize awarded biannually by the
Institute of Physics for distinguished contributions to the application of physics in an industrial, commercial or business context. The medal is made of silver and is accompanied by a prize and a certificate.
The original Duddell award was instituted by the Council of The
Physical Society in 1923 to the memory of
William du Bois Duddell, the inventor of the
electromagnetic oscillograph. Between 1961 and 1975 it was awarded in alternate odd-numbered years and thereafter annually.
In 2008 the award was renamed in honour of
Dennis Gabor, the Hungarian – British physicist who developed
holography, for which he received the 1971
Nobel Prize in Physics
