T

he Materials Research Society (MRS) will hold its 2019 MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., December 1–6. 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 54 symposia that are organized into eight clusters.

Symposium clusters

Broader Impact includes a symposium on Materials Data Science—Transformations in Interdisciplinary Education. Topics will include interdisciplinary communications, teaching data science skills at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and data life cycle and duration. The Electronic, Photonic and Magnetic Materials cluster focuses on a broad

range of advanced functional materials for electronics, multiferroics, and magnetoelectrics. The five symposium topics range from emerging material platforms and approaches for plasmonics, metamaterials, and metasurfaces to molecular and organic ferro- and piezoelectrics. The Energy and Environment cluster includes 17 selected topics that highlight everything from challenges in battery technologies for next-generation electric vehicles, to green electrochemical energystorage solutions, and nanomaterials for sensing and control of energy systems. The Fabrication of Functional Materials and Nanomaterials cluster covers six topics from 2D materials beyond graphene, to crystal engineering of functional materials, to advanced atomic layer deposition. The Materials for Quantum Technology cluster features three symposia on materials for quantum computing applications, coherent and correlated magnetic materials for hybrid quantum interfaces, and predictive synthesis and advanced characterization of emerging quantum materials.

2019

Materials Theory, Computation and Characterization features seven symposia that cover diverse topics such as advanced atomistic algorithms, using machine learning in high-throughput discovery of new materials, and in situ/operando studies of dynamic processes in ferroelectric, magnetic, and multiferroic materials. Mechanical Behavior and Structural Materials includes four symposia that cover a diverse range of topics, including extreme mechanics, high-entropy alloys and other novel high-temperature structural alloys, and mechanics of nanocomposites and hybrid materials. The Soft Materials and Biomaterials cluster has 11 symposia that focus on advanced neural materials and devices, bioelectrical interfaces, hydrogel materials, and bringing mechanobiology to materials.
