Meeting Chairs: Anne C. Dillon National Renewable Energy Laboratory Robin W. Grimes Imperial College London Paul C. McIntyre Stanford University Darrin J. Pochan University of Delaware The 2010 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting will be held April 5–9, 2010 in San Francisco, Calif. The technical meeting and exhibits will be located at the Moscone West Convention Center, and will include 42 symposia. To complement the scientific sessions, tutorials will provide a detailed introduction to particularly exciting areas of research, Symposium X on Frontiers of Materials Research will feature topics at the forefront of materials science and engineering, and the Equipment 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. The cluster on Functional Materials (comprising Symposia A–M) focuses on electronic materials and devices, plasmonics, sensing, semiconductor processing, superconductors, and perovskites. The cluster on Nanomaterials (comprising Symposia N–V) contains the production and characterization of oxides, nanowires, particles, sheets, and tubes, along with their applications in photovoltaic, optical, or electronic devices. The cluster on Energy Materials (comprising Symposia W–HH) is diverse in symposia dealing with energy production in nuclear materials, thermoelectrics, fuel cell mem156
branes, and organic and inorganic photovoltaics. Energy storage in batteries as well as fundamental energy materials issues such as defects and charge transport in photovoltaic materials, new computational, and characterization approaches will also be covered. The cluster on Soft/ Biomaterials (comprising Symposia II–QQ) has a strong emphasis in materials construction through molecular assembly mechanisms with a variety of molecules (such as peptides, DNA, and polymers), spanning the nanoscale through the microand macroscale, using a variety of techniques such as evaporative and directive assembly versus self-assembly, for a variety of technologies such as biomedicine, energy, and electronics. New this year, MRS is holding a oneday Technology Innovation Forum, organized by Michael F. Durstock of the Air Force Research Laboratory and John Benner of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The focus of this forum is to bring together materials technologists, industrial-base representatives, and venture capitalists interested in facilitating the transition of technologies related to materials developments for alternative power and energy devices and systems. The Forum will create an environment where the correct contacts with regard to technology needs and transfer are made on all sides to foster future communication, innovation, and partnerships. An awards ceremony will be held at which this year’s Outstand
