| Abstract Scope |
Industry has many examples where the scientific approach has resulted in a pragmatic solution to problems that is unrelated to the original scientific thesis. This study examines instances in process electrometallurgy, battery energy storage and advanced ironmaking. While portraying the importance of the journey as well as the destination in scientific investigation -- it is important to recognize the time horizon it takes to bring materials innovations to market. This enterprise requires diligence and patience to realize progress and that is the hallmark of Professor Sadoway's career. |
