T
he Materials Research Society (MRS) will hold its 2015 Fall Meeting at the Hynes Convention Center and the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Mass., November 29–December 4, 2015. The Meeting will include a technical program, tutorials, a plenary session, an award ceremony, poster sessions, a career fair, and other special activities. MRS Advances (symposium proceedings) will be published and made available free online to MRS members. MRS Meetings focus on the interdisciplinary nature of materials research worldwide. The program’s 55 symposia address leading-edge research and capture the extraordinary progress in materials science and technology, organized into the following clusters. Advances in the design, synthesis, and processing of biomaterials and soft matter
continue to expand the use of these materials in a wide variety of applications. The cluster on Biomaterials and Soft Materials captures this progress, with symposia aimed at stretchable and active polymers and composites for energy and medicine; engineering and application of bioinspired materials; multifunctionality in polymer-based materials; and materials science, technology, and devices for cancer modeling, diagnosis, and treatment. In the cluster on Nanomaterials and Synthesis, symposia concerning the synthesis and function of a broad range of nanomaterials will be available. Topics of interest include micro- and nanoscale processing of materials for biomedical devices; nanocarbon materials—1D to 3D; plasmonic nanomaterials for energy conversion; and magnetic nanomaterials for biomedical and energy applications.

The cluster on Mechanical Behavior and Failure of Materials features shapeprogrammable materials; mechanical behavior at the nanoscale; microstructure evolution and mechanical properties in interface-dominated metallic materials; and materials under extreme environments. Symposia concerning the utilization of a broad range of advanced materials in electronics and photonics devices and applications will be available, from molecularly ordered organic and polymer semiconductors to organic electronics. In this cluster on Electronics and Photonics, recent advances are covered in diamond electronics, sensors, and biotechnology; beyond graphene—2D materials and their applications; optical metamaterials; and materials and technology for nonvolatile memories. Materials science advances driving improvements in energy conversion and storage are highlighted in the Energy and Sustainability (MRS/E-MRS Bilateral Energy Conference) cluster. Symposia will focus on advances in flexible devices for energy conversion and storage; thin-film and nanostructure solar-cell materials and devices for
