T
he Materials Research Society (MRS) will hold its 2018 MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., November 25–30. The Meeting will include technical programming, tutorials, an award ceremony, poster sessions, a career fair, and other special activities. MRS meetings focus on leading interdisciplinary materials research in both fundamental and applied areas, coordinated by more than 200 scientists from both academia and industry worldwide. The Meeting’s core is its technical program, which includes 57 symposia that are organized into the following nine clusters.
Symposium clusters
The General Interest cluster features symposia on hot topics such as Machine Learning, Robotics, and the newest addition, Synthetic Biology—An Accelerator of Materials Research and Development. The Broader Impact cluster includes symposia regarding sustainability in

materials science and preparing for a career in higher education in materials science. The Biomaterials and Soft Materials cluster includes nine symposia that cover a diverse range of topics related to biomaterials and soft materials. Both experimental and modeling approaches will be emphasized, and organic and inorganic materials will range from the nano- to macroscale. Symposia will include topics on the fabrication, characterization, and application of soft materials and interfaces. The Characterization, Mechanical Properties and Structure–Property Relationships symposia cover structure-property relationships, in situ and in operando analysis of electrochemical materials and interfaces, ultrafast optical probes for materials characterization, materials property changes under irradiation, and solid-state chemistry of inorganic materials. The Electronic, Photonic and Magnetic Materials cluster focuses on a
broad range of advanced functional materials for electronics, sensing, and novel devices. Topics range from fundamental studies to device design, modeling, and industrial applications. The exciting and growing area of 2D materials beyond graphene will also be featured. The Energy—Transfer, Storage and Conversion cluster is a range of 15 selected topics that highlights everything from flexible low-cost photovoltaics, advanced perovskite materials and devices for next-generation photovoltaics, to highefficiency silicon photovoltaics. A symposium on nuclear waste management and a symposium on progress in practical solutions for carbon capture technology are featured as well. The Nanomaterials cluster features four symposia that cover current progress in nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, as well as related noncarbon materials, such as boron nitride, are topics of significant interest in the community. A connecting theme
