Materials in Focus
Policy Focus
How science fares in the US budget deal
Overall, the deal staves off major cuts for federal science agencies.
OF INTEREST TO THE MATERIALS COMMUNITY
Sustainable manufacturing conference in South Africa highlights importance of materials
Specific needs and sustainability challenges vary regionally, as do the resources available to meet these challenges.

Latest research breakthroughs reported at the 2017 MRS Spring Meeting
The Materials Research Society held its Spring Meeting on April 17-21, 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona. See the highlights reported on social media by participants, presenters, and others as well as reports from additional MRS news sources.
Material Gains
High-performance technology and long-term societal challenges are combining to bring about an array of exciting developments in materials science. These leaps forward are facilitating fresh ideas to improve what we have and create new things that we don’t. 2017 MRS President Susan Trolier-McKinstry discusses cold sintering as one example.
MRS: The strange matter of materials science
Materials science shapes the world as we know it. Todd Osman has dedicated his career to advancing this interdisciplinary field and, as Executive Director of the Materials Research Society, he is keen to inspire people to engage with the wide range of world-class research in this area.
