Edward Engbrecht, a graduate research assistant in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, is the winner of the MRS Proceedings submission contest. Contact authors for all submissions to proceedings of the 2003 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting received by the pre-meeting deadline were eligible to win a Nikon Coolpix 3100 3.2-megapixel digital camera. Engbrecht’s submission, “Characterization of Boron Carbo-Nitride Films Deposited by Low-Temperature Chemical Vapor Deposition” (E8.21), by E.R. Engbrecht, C.J. Clino, K.H. Junker, Y.-M. Sun, J.M. White, and J.G. Ekerdt, has been accepted and will be published in the proceedings for Symposium E.
NMAB Panel Identifies Critical Materials Needs for 21st Century Defense Strange Matter Public Preview Opens in Ontario The National Materials Advisory Board, part of the U.S. National Research Council’s (NRC) Division on Strange Matter, the Engineering and Physical Materials Research Society’s Sciences, recently released a interactive materials science study titled, “Materials Reexhibit, opened its public search to Meet 21st Century preview at the Ontario Defense Needs.” Several Science Centre in Toronto, researchers involved in the Canada on June 28 and will study presented an afternoon run until January 4, 2004.

There are several areas of interest to the evaluators from the museum and education fields. Strange Matter will begin its U.S. Department of Defense in this category such as batteries, capacitors, fuel cells, three-year tour to major science centers in February 2004.
