Abstract
Abstract
R.W. Cahn died on the 9th of April. Wonderfully gifted from birth, his personality has been shaped by 20th Century history which forced him to flee from Germany to England through Spain. Chance and opportunities led him to study metallurgy at Cambridge and to later become one of the founders of Materials Science, and one of its best advocates. Some elements of his life and achievements are recalled here, as an homage to both the scientist and the man.
