AbstractThe following article is based on the plenary presentation given by Mildred S. Dresselhaus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on November 29, 2004, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston. Advanced materials offer new promise for addressing some of the grand societal challenges of our future, including that of global energy. This article will review opportunities that have opened up at the nanoscale, with materials of reduced dimensionality and enhanced surface-to-volume ratio. Some examples of research accomplishments and opportunities at the nanoscale will be described, with special attention given to the potential for advanced materials and nanoscience to have an impact on the grand challenges related to a sustainable energy supply for the 21st century and beyond.

Abstract“We will not be intimidated!” is one of the mottos Arthur R. von Hippel lived by. From refusing to salute Hitler to starting a unique interdisciplinary university laboratory–the Laboratory for Insulation Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology–von Hippel followed his principles, laying the foundations for modern materials research and distinguishing himself as a pioneering scientist, an inspirational mentor, and a devoted family man. This article shows the personal and professional contexts within which von Hippel–the namesake of the Materials Research Society's highest award–emerged as a scientific leader and role model of interdisciplinarity, as seen through the eyes of his son, Frank N. von Hippel, physicist, professor of public and international affairs, and co-director of the Program on Science & Global Security at Princeton University.

AbstractThe following article is an edited transcript based on the Von Hippel Award presentation by Robert Langer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on November 30, 2005, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston. Langer was honored with MRS's highest award for his “pioneering accomplishments in the science and application of biomaterials in drug delivery and tissue engineering, particularly in inventing the use of materials for protein and DNA delivery, and for his achievements in interdisciplinary research which have generated new medical products, created new fields of biomaterials science, and inspired research programs throughout the world.”

Diverse Audience

The Von Hippel Award is especially significant to me for several reasons. The name Von Hippel is legendary in the halls of Building 13 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I have worked for the last 12 years. Professor Von Hippel was one of the first to appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of materials research and engineering, and his insulation laboratory at MIT provided an early prototype for the National Science Foundation-supported system of interdisciplinary materials research laboratories in existence today. These laboratories, both at MIT and earlier at Cornell, have helped me in my research in many ways over the years.Also I have been a recent councillor of the Materials Research Society and have been privileged to witness the phenomenal growth of MRS at first hand. The stature of the Von Hippel Award must be increasing at least in proportion to this growth. I, therefore, feel very honored and grateful indeed! I would also like to add that much of my work has been done in collaboration with valued colleagues and students. They deserve a substantial share of this award.Over the years, my research has been devoted mainly to the experimental study of crystal defects and their behavior. These defects can be classified according to their dimensionality as shown in the accompanying table, and they are involved in one way, or another, with a host of phenomena in crystalline materials. Since I address a rather diverse audience, it might be appropriate to discuss some of the history of lattice vacancy research and some of the details of my personal contribution to it.

Rudiger Dornbusch, destacado economista del Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), analiza en esta trascendental obra tópicos como inflación, deuda, tipos de cambio, política externa y mercados emergentes. El marco conceptual descansa en la corriente de la escuela de Chicago, la cual parte del principio de que el mercado es el mecanismo que garantiza la creación del progreso en contraste con el Estado, que en su afán por encontrar soluciones perfectas, fracasa regularmente en sus cometidos.
