Welcome to the Materials Research Society Press Room.
MRS encourages coverage of its technical meetings, exhibits and other society events and activities by the scientific and general news media. Our goal is to provide members of the media with news and information for dissemination to the scientific community and general public to help foster appreciation for and further understanding of the contributions and importance of materials research and development.
We firmly believe that diversity strengthens the scientific enterprise and society as a whole.
