Welcome to the Meeting!  

The 2011 MRS Spring Meeting will be held April 25-29 in San Francisco, California. The MRS Spring Meeting has grown considerably in recent years, and the 2011 spring meeting looks to be the largest yet. We will feature 50 symposia involving the categories of Electronic and Photonic Materials, Materials for Energy and Sustainability, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, Organic and Bio-Materials, and General Materials Science. To complement the scientific sessions, tutorials will provide detailed introductions to particularly exciting areas of research, while the exhibit will showcase products of interest to the materials community. The technical meeting and exhibits will be located at the Moscone West Convention Center and San Francisco Marriott Marquis.

The scientific sessions will include many new and developing areas of materials research as well as some well-established and popular topics:

• Electronic and Photonic Materials includes symposia with focus on electronic materials and devices, plasmonics, sensing, semiconductor processing, nuclear detectors, phase-change materials, and memory devices.
• Materials for Energy and Sustainability will focus on photovoltaics, energy conversion and storage, solid-state ionics and complex oxides, thermoelectrics, and electrochromics.
• Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology contains the production and characterization of nanomaterials with additional symposia devoted to nanofludics, nano-electromechanics, interfaces, and catalysis.
• Organic and Biomaterials features a strong emphasis in biomimetic materials and hybrid devices, biosensors and bioelectronics, with additional focus on biofilms, polymers, and stem cells.
• General Materials Science rounds out the meeting with symposia on computation, metal organic frameworks, superconductivity, material interactions and defects, multiferroics, and a forum on materials education.

Symposium X: Frontiers of Materials Research will feature topics of general interest at the forefront of materials science and engineering.
