Baker Cornell University Julia Hsu Sandia National Laboratories Bethanie J.H. Stadler University of Minnesota Richard Vaia Air Force Research Laboratory The Materials Research Society will hold its 2004 Fall Meeting at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., November 29–December 3, 2004. The meeting will include a technical program; seven tutorials; a plenary session; an awards ceremony; an equipment exhibit, including the Research Tools Seminar; poster sessions; a career center; funding seminars; and other special activities. Also, the MRS science exhibition Strange Matter will be on tour in Boston during the meeting. Proceedings of selected symposia will be published and made available on the MRS Web site. Online access is free to MRS members. A broad range of symposium topics will be offered. The materials community continues to grow, being the bedrock of cross-disciplinary efforts that are pushing the envelope on the technology horizon. Symposium organizers from around the world have created a program that captures the revolutions occurring in the materials community and explores new and emerging fields at the forefront of interdisciplinary science. As a special feature, Strange Matter, an interactive materials science museum exhibition developed by MRS, will be on display at the Boston Museum of Science during the meeting. More information, including volunteer opportunities, will be available at the Meeting site on Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m.–noon, in Exhibition Hall C at the Hynes Convention Center. The Museum is hosting the exhibition October 2, 2004 –January 3, 2005. Another special program for materials entrepreneurs will occur during Symposium X: “Innovations to Impact.” Forty-two technical symposium topics, grouped into seven clusters, will provide an expansive overview of cutting-edge themes. In addition, materials education for the future generation and its educators MRS BULLETIN/OCTOBER 2004
will be highlighted through a special symposium and collaborative programs with the Boston Museum of Science. The Electronic, Magnetic, and Photonics cluster will discuss materials for sensing, electronic and optoelectronic applications, progress in ultrafine lithographic techniques, innovations in nonvolatile memories, progress in semiconductor and magnetic nanostructures, materials challenges for high-frequency devices, nanomagnetics and magneto-optics, and developments in nitrides and multifunctional oxides. The impact of materials on energy and power technologies will be addressed in the Energy Generation and Storage cluster, which includes symposia on solid-state ionics, photovoltaics, materials issues in fuel cells, and hydrogen storage. Advances in Materials Characterization, an important aspect of materials discoveries, will highlight the recent e
