sulators, oxide semiconductors, diamond electronics, compound semiconductors, ferroelectric and mutiferroic materials, and magnetoelectric composites. Novel solution processing strategies for inorganic and hybrid materials, large-area processing and patterning methods, and compliant devices will be featured. The properties of photons in nanomaterials and charges in organic semiconductors will be discussed. New developments in highly energetic materials and multifunctional polymers will be addressed. Nanomaterials explores functional metal-oxide nanostructures, carbonbased nanostructures, nanowires, nanotubes, semiconductor nanocrystals, and metal-hybrid structures. Developments in understanding transport properties in polymer nanocomposites, and self organization and nanoscale pattern formation will be covered. Mechanical methods for nanofabrication, nanopatterning, and nanoassembly, and the safety and toxicity control of nanomaterials will round out the program. Biomaterials addresses the materials science of bioelectronics and biological microelectromechanical systems. Both nanomaterials for cancer applications and biomaterials for tissue regeneration are vital topics that will be covered. The formation and properties of synthetic and biological gels, the processing of biomaterials, the nucleation and growth of biological and biomimetic materials, and the multiscale mechanics of hierarchical materials will be featured. Materials exploration covers materials characterization, including threedimensional tomography, and advanced scanning probe studies. The dynamics of confined systems and interfaces and the

he Materials Research Society will hold its 2011 Fall Meeting at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Mass., November 28–Deccember 2, 2011. The meeting will include a technical program, tutorials, a plenary session, an awards ceremony, an equipment exhibit, poster sessions, a career center, funding seminars, and other special activities. Symposium proceedings will be published and made available free online to MRS members. The increasingly cross-disciplinary worldwide activity on materials research culminates every year in the MRS Fall Meeting. Symposium organizers from around the world have created a program of 46 symposia that addresses leadingedge research and captures the extraordinary progress in materials science and technology, featuring an exciting mix of well-established and popular topics. The symposia are organized into the following clusters. Energy and the environment addresses materials challenges in nuclear
