For the public, we made a video documentary of materials science education in which the National Academy of Sciences collaborated with WQED. This program was broadcast on public television as part of the Infinite Voyage series. The video on materials science education, called Miracles by Design , is useful for showing to students who are not sure what this field is all about. It covers the spectrum physics, chemistry, metals, ceramics, and polymers. An article in Business Week called The New Alchemy covered this field in some detail for the business community-... 

Carothers returned to Illinois chemistry department that fall to concentrate for two more years on organic chemistry with minors in physical chemistry and mathematics. His thesis topic was related to Adams signature discovery, a catalyst used to hydrogenate unsaturated fats for the shortening and soap industries. Carothers and 11 other collaborators produced 18 papers about the catalyst with Adams. At the same time, Carothers... 

Most of Mark s work done during this period was done at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of the Chemistry of Fibers or the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, Berlin-Dahlen. His collaborators during this six-year period...

In 1960, the Mayers moved to the University of California at San Diego, where both could finally hold full professorships, his in chemistry and hers in physics. But shortly after arrival, Maria suffered a stroke and was troubled thereafter by poor health, succumbing finally (after a prolonged coma) in 1972. While continuing collaborative theoretical chemistry studies, Joseph Mayer helped to build the newly formed UCSD chemistry faculty to national prominence. He retired and remarried, then accepted a term of presidency of the American Physical Society (1973) and continued other professional activities until his death in 1983. 

Reasons of space have precluded mentioning more than a few of his collaborators and pupils by name. He had a profound effect on the thinking of these pupils, and his influence will continue to be felt through his own and their writings for many years to come. One and all they remain grateful for their contact at a formative age with Polanyi s outstanding intellect. Michael Polanyi is survived by his wife, Magda, and by their son, John, Professor of Physical Chemistry at Toronto University, who is also well known for his work in reaction kinetics. 

To further improve the materials the collaboration between physics, chemistry, and material science is of central importance and only a mutual understand-... 

He started to work at the Chemical Faculty of Sofia University where he became a professor and the head of the Department of Physical Chemistry, in 1947. Kaishev founded the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1958, and helped to establish the Central Laboratory of Electrochemical Power Sources [i]. Kaishev started to collaborate with - Stran-ski in Berlin in 1931 [iii] and became his assistant in Sofia in 1933. They laid the fundamentals of the crystal growth theory. They proposed the first kinetic theory of the two-dimensional nucleation and growth. The spiral type growth during electrocrystallization was first observed by Kaishev on silver [iii]. On the history of the creation of the molecular-kinetic theory of crystal growth see [iv]. 

B. S. M. Rao presendy holds the Raja Ramanna Fellowship of the Department of Atomic Energy at the Department of Chemistry, University of Pune, India where he served as Professor and Head. His research and teaching interests have been in physical chemistry with an emphasis on radiation chemistry and he received training at the Nuclear Research Centre Karlsruhe and the Max Planck Institut fur Strahlenchemie at Muelheim, Germany on an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship. He trained several graduate students and built an active research group at the University of Pune by initiating international collaborations in radiation chemistry. He established the...
