Art Gossard with the molecular beam epitaxy instrument he largely invented.
One of the true giants of materials science has died.

Associate professor Alban Sauret (left) and first-year PhD student Ram Sharma with the experimental setup to test crater resulting from the dynamics of result cohesion, turbulence, erosion, and transport.
Alban Sauret's lab group seeks to quantify the relationship between cohesion and erosion.

The start of the gradient line indicates the first chemical synthesis of the relevant material. The light bulb indicates the recognition of its importance. Laurels correspondence to the Nobel (top two are UCSB).
Professors emeritus Anthony K. Cheetham and Fred Wudl, with Ram Seshadri, explain why, however, its impact might not be seen for a decade or more.
