T
he 2019 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting & Exhibit will be held at the Phoenix Convention Center (PCC), April 22–26. 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 sessions, tutorials will provide detailed introductions to exciting areas of research, and the exhibit will showcase products and services of interest to the scientific community. Making up the core of the Meeting are seven topical clusters of the technical program, encompassing 60 symposia. They are grouped as follows: General Interest: This cluster features the newest LATE NEWS—HOT TOPIC symposium, GI01—Advancing Materials Discovery with Data-Driven Science. Additional LATE NEWS—HOT TOPIC symposia include QN06—Emerging Materials for Quantum Information, QN07—Emergent Phenomena in Oxide Quantum Materials, and SM03—Growing Next-Generation Materials with Synthetic Biology.

Broader Impact: This cluster features one symposium that addresses increasing ethnic and gender diversification in engineering education.
Characterization, Processing and Theory: This cluster features nine sympo-
sia dedicated to a wide range of materials and applications. Special focus will be on advanced nanoscale characterization and in situ investigations of materials, novel materials design, and the role of interfaces as well as advances in modeling and simulation across length scales. Electronics and Photonics: This cluster features 13 symposia divided into two subclusters. One subcluster will focus on soft, stretchable electronics with symposia addressing the fundamentals of the materials systems, assembly and fabrication, applications exemplified through functional circuits, and interfaces with electronic and photonic devices and systems, including considerations for biofriendly electronics. The other subcluster will focus on the latest developments in electronic and photonic devices, plasmonics, metamaterials, phase-change materials,
and thermoelectrics. They will also cover new developments in applications involving memory, neuromorphic computing, and advanced approaches for interconnects relevant to the extension of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor roadmap. Energy and Sustainability: This cluster features 21 symposia that will address the challenges, opportunities, and technologies related to energy materials, devices, and systems. The cluster will comprise subclusters on energy storage, catalysis, alternative energy and fuels, water-energy materials and sustainability, and photovoltaics and energy harvesting. Specific topical areas include perovskites, novel semiconductors, batteries, capacitive devices, fuel cells, electrochemical systems, solar fuels, as well as advanced concepts for materials design, circular economy, and water-energy nexus.
