Charles Barbour Sandia National Laboratories Paul S. Drzaic Alien Technology Corporation Gregg S. Higashi Intel Corporation Viola Vogel Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) The 2006 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting will be held April 17–21 in San Francisco, Calif. The technical meeting and exhibits will be located at the Moscone West Convention Center, including 37 symposia and a technical forum (Symposium KK) on Education in Nanoscience and Engineering. The meeting will highlight advances in microelectronic device processing and fabrication; materials research for photonics, electronics, magnetics, and sensors; complex and biological nanoscale materials and systems; and materials for energy and environmental applications. To complement the scientific sessions, tutorials will provide a detailed introduction to particularly exciting areas of research, and the exhibit will showcase products of interest to the materials community. The scientific sessions will include many new and developing areas of materials research as well as some well-established and popular topics. In the cluster of symposia on Microelectronic Device Processing and Fabrication (A–H), topics range from amorphous and polycrystalline silicon thin films to chalcogenide phasechange materials. The cluster of symposia on Photonics, Electronics, Magnetics, and Sensors (I–S) will bring forth the state of the art from organic, inorganic, and hybrid materials systems, as well as the latest breakthroughs in nanowires and nanostructured materials systems. Complex materials behavior and biological nanoscale systems will be explored in symposia with topics ranging from nanomanufacturing to the mechanics of nanoscale systems to biological machines and nanoscale probes for molecular bioimaging within the cluster Complex and Biological Nanoscale Materials and MRS BULLETIN • VOLUME 31 • FEBRUARY 2006
Systems (T–CC). An additional focus will be placed during the meeting on materials research affecting energy and environmental applications such as hydrogen storage and water purification. This cluster of symposia on Energy and Environment (DD–JJ), popular at the 2005 MRS Fall Meeting, is being carried over into the Spring Meeting. A special one-day symposium (LL) will be held in recognition of John Poate’s contributions to materials research over his career. Poate played a seminal role in developing several key areas in materials physics, particularly in semiconductor materials processing. He also collaborated with scientists worldwide, mentoring young scientists at critical stages in their careers. The symposium consists of all invited speakers who worked with Poate, and it follows the pathways of the science from Poate’s tenure at Bell Laboratories to current research and future directions. The program begins with historical data and proceeds toward cutting-e
