Von Hippel Award Acknowledges Outstanding Interdisciplinary Work in Materials Research The Von Hippel Award, first presented to Arthur R. von Hippel whose interdisciplinary and pioneering research typified
the spirit of the award, is the Materials Research Society's highest honor. The recipient is recognized for brilliance and originality combined with vision that transcends the boundaries of conventional scientific disciplines. The Award includes a $7,500 cash prize, honorary membership to MRS, and a unique trophy—a mounted ruby laser crystal symbolizing the manyfaceted nature of materials research. Selection of the recipient is determined by a vote of the MRS Council. The recipient will be invited to speak at the Awards Ceremony.
