Since 1955, the Nishina Memorial Prize has been awarded annually by the Nishina Memorial Foundation.[2]The Foundation was established to commemorateYoshio Nishina,who was the founding father of modern physics research in Japan and a mentor of the first two Japanese Nobel Laureates,Hideki YukawaandSin-Itiro Tomonaga.
The Prize, of ¥500,000 (about US$5,000) and the certificate, is bestowed upon young scientists who have made substantial contributions in the field of atomic and sub-atomic physics research. As of 2024, six Nobel Prizes have been awarded to prior Nishina recipients:Leo Esaki,Makoto Kobayashi,Toshihide Maskawa,Masatoshi Koshiba,Shuji NakamuraandTakaaki Kajita.
