It is with great sorrow that the Hungarian Mössbauer Community represented by the Network of Hungarian Mössbauer Laboratories announces the demise of its founder
Eckhard Bill studied physics at the University of Saarland and became enthusiastic about Mössbauer spectroscopy already during his studies. He was one of the first students of Alfred (Ali) Trautwein, who did his habilitation in the group of Uli Gonser and then accepted the call for a professorship at the University of Lübeck in 1983.
Our IBAME honorary member and former IBAME chair Philipp Gütlich passed away on 9 September 2022 at the age of 88. The international Mössbauer community loses not only an excellent scientist and committed teacher but also a friend and colleague who, with immense dedication, advanced the applications of the Mössbauer effect in a diversity of research fields.
