trends in carbon materials, nanomagnetism, thermoelectric nanostructures, metamaterials, nanoplasmonics, and topological insulators. Biological, Biomedical, and Bioinspired Materials will cover a wide range of topics from DNA nanotechnology to plasma processing for life sciences. Several symposia will explore the critical issues involved in interfacing biological systems with synthetic materials such as organic electronics, nanoparticles, and medical implants. Other areas to be covered include mechanobiology, the design of cellular microenvironments, and the synthesis of new materials based on biological building blocks. The cluster on General Materials Science will round out the meeting with symposia on computation, in situ and local characterization techniques, rare-earth materials, functional particles, ionic liquids, and materials science education. Symposium X on Frontiers of Materials Research will feature presentations for the broad materials community. With general concern about the environmental impact of the rapidly increasing volume of air traffic, fuel-cells systems represent a solution to cleaner power and enhanced energy efficiency. K. Andreas Friedrich of the German Aerospace Center (DLR)/University of Stuttgart will address DLR’s work—both experiments and modeling—on fuel-cell systems for aircraft applications to support or replace the existing systems. Symposium X speaker Koichi Kitazawa of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) will address current emphasis in Japan on game-changing energy technologies, in light of the recent Fukushima nuclear incident.

he 2012 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting will be held April 9–13, 2012, in San Francisco, Calif. The spring meetings have grown considerably in recent years, and this year’s meeting looks to be the largest yet. The scientific sessions will include many new and developing areas of materials research as well as some wellestablished and popular topics, with 11 of the 54 symposia co-sponsored by the Japan Society of Applied Physics
(JSAP). To complement the scientific sessions, tutorials will provide detailed introductions to particularly exciting areas of research, while the exhibit will showcase products of interest to the materials community. The technical meeting and exhibits will be located at the Moscone West Convention Center and San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Making up the core of the Meeting are the five topical clusters of the technical program. Electronics and Photonics will include symposia with a focus on electronic and photonic materials, devices, and processing. In addition, superconductors, organic electronics, and
