Nominations ''W' Sought for ACS Awards Nominations are now being solicited for the 1983 American Chemical Society awards. Any individual (except a member of the award committee) may submit in any given year one nomination for each award. Two of these awards are of particular interest to readers of ANALYTICAL Chemistry. The ACS Award in Analytical Chemistry, established in 1947 by the Fisher Scientific Company, recognizes outstanding contributions to the science of analytical chemistry, pure or applied, carried out in the U.S. or Canada. Special consideration is given to “the independence of thought and the originality shown, or to the importance of the work when applied to public welfare, economics, or the needs and desires of humanity.” The award consists of $3000 and an etching. Sponsorship of the ACS Award in Chromatography was assumed by Supelco, Inc., in 1970. A nominee for this award must have made an outstanding contribution to chromatography, with particular consideration given to development of new methods. The award consists of $3000 and a certificate.
Nominations must be accompanied a biographical sketch of the nominee (including date of birth), a list of publications and patents, specific identification of the work on which the nomination is based, and an evaluation and appraisal of the nominee’s accomplishments, particularly the work to be recognized by the proposed by
award. Seconding letters

a maximum of two such letters containing factual information about the candidate not provided in the nominating document will be transmitted to the award committee. Six copies of the complete
essary. However,
nominating document (including reprints or other supplementary material), letter-size and unbound, must be furnished for distribution to the members of the award committee. The nomination and its accompanying material must be postmarked no later than midnight, March 1, 1982. For further details about the nominating procedure, see the Oct. 5th issue of Chemical & Engineering News or “Awards Administered hy ACS” (Bulletin 7, 1982 edition). Nominations should be sent to: Awards Program, American Chemical Society, 1155 16th St,, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Copies of Bulletin 7 are avail able from the same office.
Ozawa Receives Mettler Award Takeo Ozawa of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Ibaraki, Japan, was presented with the 1981 Mettler Award in Thermal Analysis at the 11th Annual Conference of the North American Thermal Analysis Society held Oct. 19-21 in New Orleans, La. The award is sponsored by the Mettler Instrument Corporation and con sists of a $1000 honorarium and a gold pin. The purpose of the award, which has been given annually since 1968, is
Takeo Ozawa to recognize outstanding work in the field of dynamic thermal analysis. Ozawa is manager of the Energy Storage Section, Energy Systems Division, Electrotechnical Laboratory, of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. In a professional career spanning over 25 years, Ozawa has conducted research on phase transitions of metallic soaps, thermal properties of polymeric insulating materials, electrochemical energy conversion, and latent heat thermal energy storage. He is currently serving on the edi-

SACP Awards Starter Grants The Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP) has announced the 1981 recipients of two $3500 and two $500 starter grants. The grants were established in 1980 to aid new professors and to promote the education of graduate students in analytical
chemistry. The $3500 grants were awarded to Joseph Wang of New Mexico State University and Raymond Lovett of North Dakota State University. Wang’s research interests include the development of solid electrode techniques using hydrodynamic modulation voltammetry and the development of continuous flow analyzers.
Lovett’s research is focused on the analysis of coal fly ash with inductively coupled plasmas and metal-chelate gas chromatography. David Nurok of Indiana UniversityPurdue University received one of the $500 grants for research in TLC. Jon Maple of the LIniversity of New Mexico, whose work is in the area of laserinduced techniques, received the other $500 award.

The National Research and Resource Facility for Submicron Structures (NRRFSS) at Cornell University was officially dedicated on Oct. 16 in Ithaca, N.Y. Completed in August 1981, the $3.8 million, two-story building contains 7500 square feet of laboratory space “clean” with regard to air, vibration, and elec-
tromagnetic interference.
Established in 1977 with a $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the NRRFSS is the only microstructure science laboratory that is available to researchers from other universities, government, and industry. Research at the NRRFSS will be carried out in the general areas of submicrometer lithography, fabrication and growth of thin-film materials, device design and fabrication, and device physics and materials characterization. The micrographs above were obtained by researchers at the NRRFSS. The upper figure is an intact tobacco mosaic virus and the lower is a pattern etched into a NaCI film by a 0.5-nm-diameter electron beam. Both micrographs are shown at the same magnification (1.7 million times). Using words of the size illustrated in the lower figure, the entire “Encyclopedia Britannica” could be written on a postage stamp.
