Abstract

The following is an edited version of the David Turnbull Lectureship address, given by recipient Robert E. Newnham at the 1996 MRS Fall Meeting. Newnham received the lectureship for “pioneering the field of ceramic composites for electronic and optical applications, and in recognition of a distinguished career of guiding students, lecturing, and writing.” Newnham is the Alcoa Professor of Solid State Science at The Pennsylvania State University.
