T
he 2016 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting will be held for the first time in Phoenix, Ariz., March 28–April 1, 2016. The scientific sessions will include many new and developing areas of materials research as well as some well-established and popular topics. 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. Making up the core of the Meeting are six topical clusters of the technical program, encompassing 62 symposia. They are grouped into the following clusters: Characterization and Modeling of Materials: This cluster highlights
recent advances in ultrafast spectroscopy and high-resolution structural and functional imaging by electron microscopy and scattering techniques, as well as in situ imaging. Several sessions focus on the latest progress in different material fabrication techniques, with oxidebased materials prominently featured.

Environment:
Photovoltaics, solar photoelectrochemical energy conversion, fuel cells and electrocatalysis, thermoelectric power generators, and batteries are covered in this large cluster. Operando and in situ analytical methods are well represented. While solar energy conversion takes center stage in this cluster, we expect a strong presence of the electrochemical energy storage and conversion communities. Electronics and Photonics: This cluster spans the range of electric charge-carrier management to photonic light management and their application in circuits and actual devices. This includes applications in energy harvesting and power management. The role of structural order, disorder, defects and phase changes, and the control thereof down to single defect or photon level are covered at the fundamental level and

at the device level. Flexible device platforms are also covered. Materials Design: Materials can be designed today by tailoring specific structures or interfaces using specific phase transformations, or by using specific materials with unique characteristics. The ultimate goal is to fine-tune and tailor the properties of a material for a specific application. The symposia in this cluster will discuss deliberately designing the interfaces and selecting materials in devices, creating heterostructures, using elastic strain engineering to tune properties, and developing micro-assembly technologi
