1990 Von Hippel Award Nominations Sought MRS Awards Committee Chair J. Murray Gibson has announced that nominations are being accepted for the Society's highest honor, the Von Hippel Award. The Von Hippel Award is an international hallmark of excellence and distinction in the field of materials research. It was named in honor of Emeritus Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Arthur von Hippel, whose laboratory pioneered the collaborative, interdisciplinary investigation that has corne to be identified as "materials research." The Award recognizes those qualities most prized by materials scientists and
engineers—brilliance and originality of intellect combined with vision that transcends the boundaries of conventional scientific disciplines. The Award is presented at the MRS Fall Meeting. The récipient is selected by majority vote of the MRS Council from a slate of candidates prepared by the Awards Committee. Previous récipients include: Prof. Authur von Hippel, Dr. William O. Baker, Prof. David Turnbull, Prof. W. Conyers Herring, Prof. James W. Mayer, Prof. Qarence M. Zener, Prof. Sir Peter B. Hirsch, Dr. Walter L. Brown, Dr. John W. Cahn, Prof. Minko Balkanski, Sir Charles Frank, Prof. Jacques
Friedel, and Prof. John B. Goodenough. Nominations can be prepared using the form on p. 78 in this issue. (Additional forms are obtainable from MRS Headquarters.)

MRS Offers Major New Awards Outstanding Young Investigator Award and MRS Medal Début in 1990 The MRS Awards Committee has announced the establishment of two new prestigious awards for excellence in materials research. The Outstanding Young Investigator Award and MRS Medal reflect the désire of the Materials Research Society to make meaningful public récognition of those individuals whose research is, in a variety of spécial ways, making major and dynamic contributions to the avancement of materials fields. "Thèse awards add important new dimensions to our program," says John Baglin (1989 Awards Committee Chair). "The Young Investigator Award is intended to recognize exceptional future promise in a dynamic research career. An MRS Medal will be a hallmark recognizing a récent major scientific or technical achievement or breakthrough in a materials-related area." "Thèse awards will be accessible to outstanding people, regardless of their particular materials field of work," he emphasized. "Récipients will be researchers displaying only the highest quality of achievement; it is our intent that thèse awards will earn récognition and prestige on the basis of such high standards."
