According to BBC News, IoP confirmed that Professor John Pendry of Imperial College London was awarded the Newton Medal for his great contributions to surface science, light science .
However, Professor Pendry's work on 'cloaking jacket ' and new invisibility materials is his most famous and important achievement. IoP president Peter Knight insists that the Newton Medal is our "most important award".

In 2006, Professor Pendry became the science subject when he announced the idea of inventing 'invisibility jacket'. He proposed making materials with structures that could make light move around them, making them invisible.
'My idea comes from very practical applications. At that time I was consulting a company about the materials they used to absorb radio waves - Professor Pendry said - That led me to a whole new field of research. '
The scientific community initially argued that the creation of a "Harry Potter stealth jacket" was a myth. But since then, scientists have applied Professor Pendry's idea into many areas, such as the method of 'cloaking' buildings against earthquakes or sound wave materials.
'That shows the unpredictability of science - Professor Pendry said - when you have a unique idea, you don't know where it will go. I didn't know my idea would grow that way. '
IoP Knight president said Professor Pendry deserves the noble award of the Newton Medal.'John is a brave man' - Mr. Knight judged.
