2023 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting
Abstract
ABSTRACT - 2023 Spring MRS Meeting Ð Hybrid Our hybrid meeting format provides two distinct options for attendees, one in San Francisco, California, April 10-14, 2023, for those comfortable with and able to travel, and one online April 25-27, 2023, for those who prefer a virtual meeting. There are 59 symposia planned, grouped into eight topical clusters. Characterization This cluster features three symposia that will highlight recent developments in characterization techniques for studying quantum and energy materials. Topics encompass new advancements for the study of electrochemistry, the progress in energy materials design enabled by neutron scattering investigations, and the development of cryogenic techniques for transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy studies. Energy and Sustainability Focusing on energy and sustainability topics, this cluster includes 11 symposia spanning fundamental science to applications across materials for clean energy production, energy conversion, energy storage, and energy-efficient technologies, as well as greener approaches to materials waste. Topics range from solid state batteries, electrochemical capacitors, and polymeric and organic materials for energy storage to 2D materials for energy conversion, thin-film semiconductor photovoltaics, and critical materials for energy applications. Also included are symposia on caloric materials, concentrated solar thermal technologies, building materials, and new approaches to decomposing materials waste. Nanomaterials This cluster features four symposia dedicated to a range of nanomaterials including graphene, 2D materials, Janus nanomaterials, and nano-sized photocatalysts, as well as their various applications. The symposia include topics related to synthesis, properties, and various device applications covering theory and simulations, rational design and synthesis and advanced characterization of nanomaterials, and their device applications to electrochemical and photocatalytic systems and other novel functional domains. Soft Materials and Biomaterials The nine symposia under soft materials and biomaterials cluster cover engineered living materials, nanomaterials, bioelectronic materials, peptide and protein-based materials, unconventional polymer networks, soft matter interfaces, and biomaterials under extreme conditions. Fundamental science and approaches to characterization will be discussed towards applications that range from biomedicine, disease detection, and therapeutic tools to adaptive materials, thin-film devices, haptic materials, as well as sustainable materials and manufacturing. Electronics, Optics and Photonics This cluster, the largest in this meeting, features 21 symposia covering a variety of topical areas in electronics, optics and photonics. These include symposia focusing on fundamentals and advances in electronic, optical and photonic materials such as organic semiconductors, hybrid perovskites, quantum dots, two-dimensional (2D) materials, phase-change materials, electrochromic materials, colloidal plasmonic particles, and nanostructured semiconducting materials. Also included are symposia on their related applications to memory and neuromorphic computing, optoelectronics, lighting and displays, and flexible/stretchable electronics. Materials Modeling and Data Science The two symposia in cluster will cover machine learning for materials modeling and development, integration of data-driven machine learning with knowledge-driven innovative simulations and modeling for materials discovery, developments of data-driven multiscale methods in computational and experimental studies of materials, studies bridging computation and experiment, and new understandings of material behaviors enabled by data-driven multiscale methods. Quantum Materials and Systems The cluster on quantum materials and systems consists of four symposia highlighting the latest quantum and topological materials and other related materials
