Record Number of Papers Submitted for 1988 MRS Fall Meeting Over 2,000 papers have been submitted to the Materials Research Society for presentation at its 1988 Fall Meeting to be held in Boston, November 28 - December 3. This is an increase of 15% over the papers presented at the 1987 Fall Meeting. "We are delighted with the enthusiastic response to the Call for Papers for this meeting," said Slade Cargill, one of the 1988 Fall Meeting chairs. In addition to an increase in oral paper presentations at the meeting, the traditional Tuesday and Thursday evening poster sessions have also been expanded to include a third Session Wednesday evening featuring 180 papers. "The diversity of the topical symposia will offer a thorough examination of mainstream topics as well as introduce some new ones," said Cargill. New topics for the Fall Meeting include Chemical Perspectives of Microelectronic Materials (Symposium E), Liquid Crystal Polymers (Symposium I), New Materials Approaches to Tribology: Theory and Applications (Symposium S), Atomic Scale Calculations in Materials Science (Symposium T), and Nondestructive Monitoring of Materials Properties (Symposium U). According to Cargill, high temperature superconductivity will continue to draw attention from participants through its large number of topical papers. Telephone/Fax Registrations Now Accepted In addition to mail-in registrations, both meeting and short course registrations will be accepted by telephone or fax this year for the convenience of MRS meeting attendees.
