Time and time again, "multidisciplinary" research is touted as essential to innovation. That is why, from April 17-23, 2021, researchers working in seemingly unrelated fields gathered virtually to promote, share and discuss issues and developments across disciplines.
The 2021 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit is the key forum to present research to an interdisciplinary and international audience. It provided a window on the future of materials science, and offered an opportunity for researchers—from students and postdoctoral fellows, to Nobel and Kavli Prize Laureates—to exchange technical information and network with colleagues.
