ollowing the successful relocation of the Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting to Phoenix, Ariz., last year, the 2017 MRS Spring Meeting will continue to be held at the Phoenix Convention Center, April 17–21. 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 five topical clusters of the technical program, encompassing 53 symposia. They are grouped into the following clusters: Characterization, Theory and Modeling: This cluster of seven symposia serves to strengthen synergy between materials simulation and experiment for the purpose of accelerating the discovery and development of new materials for novel applications. Special focus will be on advanced algorithms for materials
simulation across length scales, as well as in situ electron microscopy and nanomechanical characterization of dynamic and mechanically coupled phenomena. Electronic Devices and Materials: This cluster of 14 symposia aims to push forward application-driven materials research, focusing on a wide range of materials systems for electronic, photonic, and optoelectronic devices. It includes materials for quantum technologies, photovoltaics and upconversion, plasmonics, metamaterials, and future highly integrated optoelectronic circuits, as well as for the interface with neurobiology. Energy Storage and Conversion: There are more than a dozen symposia in this cluster, including solar fuels, photovoltaics (perovskite, chalcogenide, concentrated, multi-junction), nuclear materials, caloric materials, energy storage (batteries, fuel cells, thermoelectrics, electrodes, interfaces, mechanics, multivalent), spintronics, piezotronics, magnetoelectrics, nanogenerators, and soft magnets for power electronics.

Nanomaterials: The nanomaterials cluster features 10 symposia dedicated to a wide range of materials and applications: 1D nanowires, 2D materials, composites, as well as materials aimed at particular applications such as catalysis, energy, and functioning in extreme environments. Many of the symposia will organize joint sessions with symposia from other clusters establishing connections to methods for characterization and possible applications. Soft Materials and Biomaterials: There are eight symposia in this broad interdisciplinary cluster. Key topics include fundamental and applied research in the following technical areas: advanced polymers, polymeric biom
