The IUCr is pleased to announce that Dr David Sayre (Department of Physics,
State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY 11794, USA) has been awarded
the eighth Ewald Prize for the unique breadth of his contributions to
crystallography, which range from seminal contributions to the solving of
the phase problem to the complex physics of imaging generic objects by X-ray
diffraction and microscopy, and for never losing touch with the physical
reality of the processes involved.
The presentation of the Ewald Prize will be made during the Osaka Congress
Opening Ceremony on 23 August 2008.
