standard methods, new techniques are pushing the limits, such as tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, plasmonics, and photocurrent spectroscopy. Graphene, again, was discussed because the use of isotope metrology on this material allowed the identification of the signal from specific layers in a multilayer sample and enhanced the understanding of the structure and properties of graphite intercalation compounds.
Overall, the nanotube field needs further development from a metrology standpoint. Further work is needed to speed the development of metrology, especially with regard to the application of carbon nanotube materials in biology, medicine, and issues related to toxicology.

Bilateral Energy Conference to be held in France in 2014 www.emrs-strasbourg.com
T
he Bilateral Energy Conference, held jointly by the Materials Research Society (MRS) and the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS,) will be included as part of the 2014 E-MRS Spring Meeting in Lille, France, on May 26–30. The conference chairs are Hans Richter of Gesellschaft zur Förderung von Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft, Germany, and William Tumas of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA. The symposia topics are: ■ Materials research for group IV semiconductors: growth, characterization and technological developments ■ Advanced materials and characterization techniques for solar cells II ■ Materials development for solar fuel production and energy conversion
■ Organic/polymer and hybrid photovoltaics ■ Materials by design for energy applications through theory and experiment ■ Materials for electrochemical energy conversion—from modular to largescale energy generation and storage ■ Crystals for energy conversion and storage (jointly organized with the International Organization for Crystal Growth)
terials; and crystal growth in materials science (with symposia jointly organized with the International Organization for Crystal Growth), with the January 16, 2014 deadline for abstracts. This Meeting—chaired by Ian W. Boyd (University of Brunel, UK), Gilles Dennler (IMRA Europe, France), Roberto M. Faria (University of São Paulo, Brazil), Roberto Fornari (University of Parma, Italy), and Elvira Fortunato (FCT-UNL, Portugal)—also features a workshop on grand challenges in materials and a tutorial, on May 25, about analysis of radioactive nuclear materials. For more information, access the EMRS website www.emrs-strasbourg.com.
The abstract deadline is January 16, 2014. The E-MRS Spring Meeting also includes topics on materials for energy and environment; nanomaterials; materials and light; hybrid, organic, and bioma-
