Chinese scientist Jin Changqing, a research professor at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been awarded the Bernd T. Matthias Prize, the highest international honor in the field of superconducting materials exploration.

Jin was recognized for a series of pioneering discoveries in novel superconducting materials, becoming the only recipient worldwide in 2026 to receive this distinction.

According to the award committee, Jin's work has made multiple breakthrough contributions to the discovery of new superconductors through advanced high-pressure synthesis and characterization techniques. His research spans a wide range of superconducting systems, including cuprate-based, iron-based, hydrogen-rich, elemental and topological compound superconductors.

Established in 1989, the prize is presented once every three years and is awarded to one to three international scholars who have made outstanding contributions to the exploration and discovery of superconducting materials.
