methods for designing soft materials, and contemporary chemical approaches to soft material synthesis. Symposia are also targeted in the mechanics of biomaterials, the engineering of bioinspired structural materials, and the fundamentals of both hydrogel and assembled polymeric systems. The use of these classes of materials as instructive interfaces will be highlighted in symposia aimed at soft- and biomaterials as tools for understanding biological processes and for integration with organic electronics. This cluster will also highlight multiple areas in which biomaterials, soft matter, and composites are being employed for specific biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, cancer treatment, neural interfaces, and diagnostic devices. Symposia concerning the utilization of a broad range of advanced materials in electronics and photonics devices and applications will be available, from oxide semiconductors to diamond, compound semiconductors, and magnetic nanostructures. In this cluster on Electronics and Photonics, recent advances in plasmonics, metamaterials, and photoactive organic materials, as well as organic microlasers, comprise separate themes. Two topical symposia concerning large-area patterning and solution-based processing of functional electronic/photonic materials and devices are included. This program provides a forum for presentation and discussion of advances in materials science driving improvements in energy conversion and storage. Three of the symposia in this cluster on Energy and Sustainability are directed to photovoltaic energy conversion, with topics including inorganic thin films, organic and hybrid organic/inorganics, and earth-abundant materials.

he Materials Research Society will hold its 2013 Fall Meeting at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., December 1–6, 2013. The Meeting will include a technical program, tutorials, a plenary session, an award ceremony, an equipment exhibit, poster sessions, a career center, 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 Meetings. Symposium organizers from around the world have created a program of 51 symposia that address leading-edge research and capture 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. Advances in the design, synthesis, and processing of biomaterials and soft matter continue to expand the use of these materials in a wide variety of applications. This cluster on Biomaterials and Soft Matter captures this continuum, with symposia aimed at simulation-ba
