2016 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting
Abstract
The 2016 MRS Fall Meeting will take place from November 27 to December 2, 2016, in Boston, MA. The world s foremost international scientific gathering for materials research, the MRS meeting showcases leading interdisciplinary research in both fundamental and applied areas, coordinated by over 200 scientists from both academia and industry in many countries around the world. The meeting s core is its technical program, which includes 54 symposia organized into nine topical areas: Broader Impact (BI): This cluster includes two symposia regarding the teaching and learning in materials science and the business of material technology. Biomaterials and Soft Materials (BM): This cluster includes 7 symposia that cover a diverse range of topics including bio-inspired materials, materials for medical applications, and nanostructured polymers. Electrochemistry (EC): The Electrochemistry cluster will contain 5 symposia on a broad range of topics including charge transport, proton transfer, catalysis, storage, and sustainability. Electronics, Magnetics and Photonics (EM): Symposia covering a broad range of advanced materials in electronic and photonic devices and their applications will be featured. Twelve exciting symposia will cover the properties and applications of molecular and polymeric semiconductors, diamond, 2D materials, oxides and other materials. In addition to electronics, applications in bioelectronics, optoelectronics, plasmonics, phonon transport, quantum computing, magnetics and memories will be included. Energy and Sustainability (ES): A range of selected topics related to energy and sustainability will be emphasized in the symposia under this cluster. In the energy conversion and storage area, symposia focusing on advanced nanomaterials and flexible devices for next generation photovoltaics are planned. Nanomaterials (NM): Symposia covering the synthesis and functionality of a broad range of nanomaterials are planned, ranging from biomedical and energy materials to 1D, 2D and 3D nanostructured materials. Recent advances in nanoelectronics, atomic level interfacial engineering, defect control, nanoscale patterning and self-assembly among emerging nanomaterials comprise separate themes. Processing and Manufacturing (PM): This cluster is new and takes us back to the roots of materials science where processing is an essential component. In addition, the value of a new material is only established once it is manufactured.
