semiconductors to diamond, compound semiconductors, and magnetic nanostructures. In this cluster on Electronics and Photonics, recent advances are covered in emerging non-graphene 2D atomic layers and van der Waals solids; graphene and graphene nanocomposites; optical metamaterials and novel optical phenomena based on nanofabricated structures; materials and technology for nonvolatile memories; frontiers in complex oxides; oxide semiconductors; hybrid oxide/ organic interfaces in organic electronics; fundamentals of organic semiconductors—synthesis, morphology, devices, and theory; and diamond electronics and biotechnology—fundamentals to applications. Materials science advances driving improvements in energy conversion and storage are highlighted in the Energy and Sustainability cluster. Symposia will focus on advances in materials science, processing, and engineering for fuel cells and electrolyzers; wide-bandgap materials for solid-state lighting and power electronics; organic photovoltaics—fundamentals, materials, and devices; sustainable solar-energy conversion using earth-abundant materials; perovskitebased and related novel material solar cells; technologies for grid-scale energy storage; materials challenges for energy storage across multiple scales; synthesis, processing, and mechanical properties

T

he Materials Research Society (MRS) will hold its 2014 Fall Meeting at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., November 30–December 5, 2014. 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. MRS Meetings focus on the interdisciplinary nature of materials research worldwide. The program’s 52 symposia address leading-edge research and capture the extraordinary progress in materials science and technology, 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 Materials captures this progress, with symposia aimed at organic bioelectronics; multifunctional polymeric and hybrid materials; medical applications of noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs); materials and concepts for biomedical sensing; hard-soft interfaces in biological and bioinspired materials—bridging the gap between theory and experiment; reverse engineering of bioinspired nanomaterials; plasma processing and diagnostics for life sciences; micro/nano engineering and devices for molecular and cellular manipulation, stimulation, and analysis; and emerging 1D and 2D nanomaterials in health care.
