Extract

The following is an edited version of the Von Hippel Award address, given by recipient W.W. Mullins at the 1995 MRS Fall Meeting. Mullins received the Materials Research Society's highest honor “for pioneering and profound contributions to the understanding of grain boundary motion, morphological stability, the structure of surfaces and interfaces, and flow and diffusion as stochastic phenomena.” Mullins is University Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University.
