fluidics, nano-electromechanics, interfaces, and catalysis. Organic and Biomaterials features a strong emphasis in biomimetic materials and hybrid devices, biosensors, and bioelectronics, with additional focus on biofilms, polymers, and stem cells. General Materials Science rounds out the Meeting with symposia on computation, metal organic frameworks, superconductivity, materials interactions and defects, multiferroics, and a forum on materials education. Symposium X: Frontiers of Materials Research will feature topics of general interest at the forefront of materials science and engineering. Among the speakers will be Kazunari Domen of the University of Tokyo whose presentation is “Non-oxide Materials for Photocatalytic Water Splitting under Visible Light.” A special forum will be held on Monday, Acta Materialia Gold Medal Forum: Frontiers in Thin Film Epitaxy and Nanostructured Materials, chaired by Amit Goyal (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), Bill Appleton (University of Florida), Sungho Jin (University of California—San Diego), and Justin Schwartz (North Carolina State University). This forum is dedicated to seminal research contributions of Jagdish (Jay) Narayan (recipient of the 2011 Acta Materialia Gold Medal) in the field of materials sc
