The death of Sir Nevill Mott at age 90 brought to a close the illustrious ‘life in science’ of a man who stood academically, as well as literally, head and shoulders above his contemporaries, many of whom were awed and inspired by his remarkable powers of intuition, his penetrating insight and his versatile creativity. The staggering length of his scientific career his first paper was published in 1927 during the early days of quantum theory and his last on hightemperature superconductivity in 1996, four months after his death must be unprecedented, and the range of his contributions to physics possibly unequalled. He was the author of at least fifteen books and over three hundred scientific papers, covering a range of topics as diverse as wave mechanics, nuclear physics, the properties of metals, ionic crystals, semiconductors and glasses, and the nature of superconductivity.
