Editorial Have you stopped to think about what happened about 100 years ago? From time to time, I diverge from my primary responsibility of reading your manu- scripts to think about where this journal, as your publication medium, fits into the bigger arena of scientific and engineering knowledge. My mind drifts back to the events of about 100 years ago, to the time period just a few years before the turn of the century, i.e., to the 1895 to 1897 time frame. Some of you, who are real American history buffs, will immediately think of Teddy Roosevelt, the Rough Riders, "Remember the Maine," and all those symbols of a war that we in the United States call the Spanish-American War. But for others of you, the details of American history are not so important. You think of other events in the 1895 to 1897 time frame that are much more impor- tant. These are the events about which I am thinking. In the autumn of 1895, the German scientist Roentgen discovered x-rays and, in so doing, made an invisible world visible to us. Almost immediately after his discovery, the medical community saw the application possibilities of Profes- sor Roentgen's discovery http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance Springer Journals
