Applied Diamond Conference 1995 to Focus on Improved Processing Technology for Commercial Diamond Applications The 3rd International Conference on the Applications of Diamond Films and Related Materials will be held August 21-24, 1995 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, Maryland. The meeting is sponsored by NIST and cosponsored by the Materials Research Society and the American Physical Society. Cooperating societies are: American Carbon Society, American Ceramic Society, ASM International®, IEEE—Electron Devices Society, Japan New Diamond Forum, andSPIE. With the objective of identifying technical barriers that hinder large-scale commercial diamond applications, as well as research strategies for overcoming these barriers, this biennial conference brings manufacturers and end-users of diamond and related technologies together with scientific researchers in the field. This year, the focus will be on new developments and advances in diamond process-
ing technologies, including major mechanical, thermal, optical, electronic, medical, and chemical applications of diamond, diamondlike carbon, cubic boron nitride, C-N compounds, and related wide-bandgap superhard materials. Papers are solicited on topics covering both practical applications and basic science, including but not limited to: • Cutting Tools, • Sensors, • Wear-Resistant Surfaces, • Biomedical Implants, • Bearings, • Deposition Process Optimization, • Protective Coatings, • Scale-Up, • Polishing, • Oriented Growth, • Heat Management, • Low-Temperature Growth, • Electronic Packaging, • Fabrication Process, • Active Electronics,
• • • • • •
Process Monitoring, Optoelectronics, Performance Evaluation, Windows, Lenses, Domes, Economic Analyses, and Acoustics. Contributing authors must submit five copies of an abstract (up to one page long) by January 30, 1995. Manuscripts will be published in the Conference Proceedings, to be distributed at the conference. Demonstrations of products, processing equipment, and prototype specimens that show progress in the development of applications are encouraged, but sales promotions are not permitted at NIST. For further information, please contact the conference chairman: Albert Feldman, Chairman ADC '95, National Institute of Standards and Technology, A329 Materials Building, Gaithersburg, MD 20899; fax: (301) 990-8729; e-mail: feldman@micf. nist.gov. •
EDUCATION EXCHANGE
"The Material World": Making the World of Science Materialize for Kids Three years ago, the University of Rochester formed its chapter of the Materials Research Society (URCMRS). Since then, our membership has expanded to more than 60 members (graduate students, postdocs, and faculty) spanning eight different departments within the University: Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, the Science and Technology Center, Electrical Engineering, Laboratory for Laser Energetics, Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Optics, and Physics. Our activities include conducting an annual symposium, sponsoring invited speakers, distrib
