T
he Materials Research Society (MRS) will hold its 2017 MRS Fall Meeting at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., November 26–December 1. The Meeting will include technical programming, tutorials, an award ceremony, poster sessions, career fair, and other special activities. MRS Meetings focus on interdisciplinary materials research worldwide. Symposium organizers from around the world have created a technical program of 54 symposia that address leadingedge research and capture the progress in materials science and technology. The symposia are organized into the following seven clusters.
Symposium clusters
The Biomaterials and Soft Materials cluster includes 12 symposia that cover a diverse range of topics, including bioinspired materials, 2D nanomaterials in health care, and biomaterials for regenerative engineering. The 2D nanomaterials area will include electronic materials and
devices; nanosensors in clinical applications; biosensors in clinical applications; nanomaterials as a sensor platform; biomarker sensing; carbon-based nanomaterials in clinical applications; point-of-care devices for medical applications; and specialized sensors for pediatric, cardiology, and other diseases. The Electronics, Magnetics, and Photonics symposia cover a broad range of advanced materials in electronic and photonic devices and their applications. Ten symposia will cover organic semiconductors, multiferroics and magnetoelectrics, oxide interfaces, diamond electronics, sensors and biotechnology, electronic and ionic dynamics at solid– liquid interfaces, and other materials. The Energy and Sustainability cluster will focus on perovskite materials and devices, a circular materials economy, sustainable solar fuels, energy storage, nuclear materials, and silicon for photovoltaics. The Nanomaterials symposia include carbon quantum dots, anisotropic carbon nanomaterials, functional 1D
nanostructures, 2D noncarbon materials and systems, and nanostructure-based optical bioprobes. The Processing and Manufacturing cluster has roots in materials science, where processing is an essential component. The focus lies in the use of ion beams and plasmas in manufacturing, the importance of modeling in the manufacturing process, the development of sensor technology for environmental modeling, and roll-to-roll manufacturing to achieve hybrid and hierarchical structures in device applications. The Theory, Characterization, and Modeling symposia cover multifunctional and multifrequency scanning probe microscopy, ion-beam technology and applications, mechanical behavior at the micro- and nanoscale, and design, control, and advanced characterization of functional defects in materials. The Broader Impact cluster includes two symposia regarding materials science education partnerships and mater
