A sample of a metal piece donated to the Materials Science Engineering department by the family of Ernest Kirkendall, a U-M alum who wrote a very controversial landmark paper in the 1947, proving that metals diffuse into each other in a different way than was widely believed at the tall. He discovered the Kirkendall Effect, which is still taught to MSE students today.
