he Materials Research Society (MRS) will hold its 2016 Fall Meeting at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., November 27–December 2. The Meeting will include a technical program, tutorials, an award ceremony, poster sessions, a career fair, and other special activities. MRS Meetings focus on the interdisciplinary nature of materials research worldwide. Symposium organizers from around the world have created a program of 54 symposia that address leading-edge research and captures current progress in materials science and technology. The symposia are organized into the following nine clusters. The Broader Impact cluster includes two symposia on teaching and learning in materials science and the business of materials technology. The Biomaterials and Soft Materials cluster includes seven symposia that cover a diverse range of topics, including bioinspired materials,
materials for medical applications, and nanostructured polymers. In the area of materials for medical applications, particular emphasis will be placed on novel strategies to create on-demand and stimuli-responsive changes in material properties with both spatial and temporal control. The Electrochemistry cluster contains five symposia focusing on charge transport, proton transfer, catalysis, storage, and sustainability. The individual symposia consist of technical sessions ranging from fundamentals to applications. The Electronics, Magnetics, and Photonics symposia cover a range of advanced materials in electronic and photonic devices and their applications. Twelve symposia cover the properties and applications of molecular and polymeric semiconductors, diamond, 2D materials, oxides, and other materials. The Energy and Sustainability cluster focuses on advanced nanomaterials and flexible devices for next-generation
photovoltaics, as well as materials and architecture for safe and low-cost electrochemical energy-storage technologies. Catalytic materials for energy and sustainability applications is also part of the program. The Mechanical Behavior and Failure Mechanisms of Materials cluster includes seven symposia addressing mechanical behavior, including the strength and failure of materials from the nanoscale to the microscale. Both fundamental scientific aspects and applications are covered. Crystalline, nanocrystalline, intermetallic, and glassy systems are included. The Nanomaterials cluster covers the synthesis and functionality of a broad range of nanomaterials, ranging from biomedical and energy materials to 1D, 2D, and 3D nanostructured materials. Recent advances in nanoelectronics, atomic-level interfacial engineering, defect control, nanoscale patterning, and self-assembly among emerging nanomaterials comprise separate themes. The Processing and Manufacturing cluster is new and has roots in m
