Baumvol UFRGS, Instituto de Fisica James J. De Yoreo Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Siegfried Mantl Forschungszentrum Jülich Thomas X. Neenan Genzyme Corporation The 2004 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting, in conjunction with the International Union of Materials Research Societies’ 9th International Conference on Electronic Materials (IUMRS– ICEM 2004), will be held April 12–16 in San Francisco, California. All 28 technical symposia will be located at the new Moscone West convention facility. The symposia will highlight advances in the synthesis, characterization, simulation, and application of materials, from understanding materials fundamentals to fabrication of devices using electronic and electro-optic materials, nanostructured and molecular materials, and biological and hybrid materials. The technical symposia, divided into clusters, will include many new and developing areas of materials research as well as some well-established and popular topics. The four clusters are Electronics, Spintronics, and Photonics (Symposia A–L); Nano- and Microstructured Materials (M–S); Molecular, Biological, and Hybrid Materials (T–AA); and General (Symposia X on Frontiers of Materials Research, BB on Education, and CC on Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management). Most symposia start on Tuesday or later, and Symposium M on Nanoparticles and Nanowire Building Blocks begins on Monday morning. On Wednesday afternoon, Symposium A will hold a session on “20 Years of Fundamental Physics and Applications of Amorphous Silicon.” A presentation on developments in highlevel radioactive-waste disposal-container materials through the past 25 years will
open Symposium CC on Tuesday morning. A panel discussion will be held the next morning in this symposium to address approaches to performance assessment. Symposium X, will present overviews relating materials science and its applications to the theme of bioorganic systems. Symposium BB will include a session on nanotechnology in the classroom and end its two-day symposium on Wednesday afternoon with a panel discussion. Symposia on electronic and optoelectronic materials will provide information on the state of the art in organic and inorganic materials, flexible electronics, novel luminescent probes, and spintronic materials. Several symposia on semiconductors will cover areas ranging from amorphous and nanocrystalline Si through integration challenges in nanoelectronics. A number of symposia will explore aspects of nanostructured materials from the synthesis of monodisperse building blocks, to the fabrication of three-dimensional arrays and applications, to energy storage. Some of the symposia will focus on emerging topics, including molecular electronics and biologically inspired materials, while others will present completely new areas, such as proteins as materials.
