Michael Faraday Bicentenary Between 1831 and 1834, at the Royal Institution in London, Michael Faraday c o n d u c t e d a remarkable series of experiments that gave a theoretical basis to the then emerging science of electrochemistry. In turn, the wealth of knowledge gained from this research accelerated the development of battery systems and o t h e r important electrochemical technologies. At the same time, Faraday's discoveries of the principles of the electric motor, the dynamo and the t r a n s f o r m e r provided the m e a n s for generating a continuous steady current of electricity. This allowed the practical realization of secondary types o f batteries as reliable and versatile power sources in a myriad of applications. The editors and publishers of this Journal join with those involved in the research, development and manufacture of electrochemical p o w e r sources in paying a special tribute to the m e m o r y of Michael Faraday on S e p t e m b e r 22, 1991 -- the b i c e n t e n a r y of his birth.
