I had some plans to start my phd in that same institute (IFF) and I attended a summer school on
Spintronics and learnt about the GMR effect and it was quite impressive and I thought that he would receive the Nobel prize in 2005 itself but better than late, he was awarded now.
A big Congratulations to Juelich Research Center!
This prize made the place so popular and of course my university FH-Aachen (Abteilung Juelich) will be famous too.
