T

he Materials Research Society and the Japan Society of Applied Physics are jointly sponsoring 23 symposia as part of the 74th Japan Society of Applied Physics Autumn Meeting, which will be held September 16–20, 2013, at

Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan. This is the second recent collaborative effort between the two societies. Symposia topics include nanocarbon devices and materials, ferroelectric and multiferroic materials by nano-

as well as tutorials, and there will be an equipment exhibition. Among the plenary speakers are Walter de Heer (Georgia Institute of Technology), presenting a lecture on nanostructured graphene; Ron Naaman (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), presenting a lecture on spintronics; Eric Fullerton (University of Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales A.C California–San Diego), on magnetic storage and memory applications; Isaac Hernández-Calderón (Cinvestav, Mexico), on semiconductors; and Shigeo Ted Oyama (University of Tokyo), on the preparation of a hydrogen-selective inorganic membrane.

structure engineering, smart materials, rare-earth-doped materials for photonic applications, nanodiamond–from basics to medical and other potential applications, and photovoltaics materials and devices for terrestrial and space applications. Akira Fujishima, President of Tokyo University of Science, will present the Kavli Lecture on photocatalysis. More information can be accessed at www.mrs.org/joint-meetings.

Coming Early 2014 MRS Energy & Sustainability: A Review Journal will publish reviews on key topics in materials research and development as they relate to energy and sustainability. Topics to be reviewed include new R&D of both established and new areas;
