Materials in Focus
Industry Focus
IBM's quantum cloud computer goes commercial
Company plans a bigger, better system aimed at creating a market for the still-immature technology.
Policy Focus
Should scientists march on Washington DC?
While some scientists welcome the march’s goal of promoting the value of science education and the use of scientific evidence to inform policy, others question whether political activism “crosses the line” and endangers their credibility and objectivity. As well as the march in DC, science fairs, teach-ins, open houses, and rallies are planned in over 200 US cities and at least 27 countries.
As evacuees move back, Fukushima cleanup faces daunting obstacles
One major hurdle is determining the condition and location of the melted fuel, much of which is believed to have dropped to the bottoms of the containment vessels where high radiation levels preclude human entry.
Materials Minute Podcast
Information about the Materials Research Society’s social media efforts in disseminating policy news affecting materials research, and the US president’s anticipated budget summary.
