More reaction from Royal Society President Venki Ramakrishnan:

"Professor Goodenough's contributions in the field of materials science have fundamentally shaped the technology we take for granted today. From powering the smartphone in your pocket, to his defining work on the properties of magnetism, these contributions have opened new avenues for scientific investigation and engineering.
