may play a role in the functionalities of nonvolatile phase-change memory devices. He was a Regents Professor -- the highest faculty honor awarded -- at Arizona State University. With visionary contributions across scientific disciplines, he was considered as "one of the most versatile physical chemists of his generation". He received internationally contested awards from four separate scientific societies — the American Chemical Society, the Materials Research Society, the American Ceramic Society, and the Electrochemical Society (see Awards and Honors). Angell was widely remembered as a charismatic and humble person with restless curiosity and an open mind. For many young scientists around the world, he was "an icon, a source of inspiration and a true friend". Awards and honors George W.
