fuels Kitazawa’s ultimate dream to solve the world’s energy problems: a global superconducting grid. “With an eastwest grid we can solve the problem of day and night,” he said. “A north-south grid can solve the problem of summer and winter. This is my dream, 30 years from now.” During the Plenary and Awards ceremony, the Society recognized additional award recipients Stephen J. Pennycook (Oak Ridge National Laboratory; University of Tennessee–Knoxville) for the Innovation in Materials Characterization Award, which is endowed by GwoChing Wang and Toh-Ming Lu; Markus J. Buehler (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for the Outstanding Young Investigator Award; and the Gold and Silver Graduate Student Awards.

T
he XXI International Materials Research Congress (IMRC) 2012, to be held on August 12–17, 2012 in Cancun, Mexico, is a joint meeting of
the Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales (SMM) and the Materials Research Society (MRS). The Meeting Chairs are Orlando Auciello of Argonne National
cess of the Society, was given to Paul McIntyre (Stanford University), chair of the MRS Publications Committee. Also Thomas S. Russell (University of Massachusetts–Amherst) received the Fred Kavli Distinguished Lectureship in Nanoscience. The equipment exhibit included vendors from scientific instrumentation companies, publishing, and scientific services and societies. MRS also hosted the 3rd Annual Technology Innovation Forum, with this year’s topic on Translating Innovation in Materials to Transforming Markets. The Forum provided a stage for innovators, industry leaders, and venture capitalists to discuss their strategic goals, technology needs, market philosophies, funding processes, and lessons learned, with the intent of finding a “materials match” for future fixed and portable energy needs.
