Returning for the 8th year MRS TV is at the 2019 MRS Spring Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. The program serves to raise

visibility of best practices in materials research, as well as to highlight collaborations between diverse institutions

including research institutions, universities and private sector organizations, as well as governmental bodies at all levels.

MRS TV will be onsite at the Phoenix Convention Center to interview key speakers and to hear your views on hot topics.

Materialsengineers make aunique contribution

– not just by making new materials, but also byimproving what they already have. At Monash,the graduates and researchers are makingthings stronger, lighter, more functional, moresustainable and more cost-effective. Theircontributions underpin all aspects ofengineering, manufacturing and healthsciences. Their research has impact onacademia, industry and the wider community.Monash University Department ofMaterials Science and Engineering

At King AbdullahUniversity of Science andTechnology (KAUST),several labs collaborate

on the development of new materials forphotonics and energy applications. TheFunctional Nanomaterials Lab examines thechemistry and physics of self-assembled hybridorganic-inorganic materials for optoelectronics,photonics, and energy applications. At theUltrafast Laser Spectroscopy and ImagingLaboratory, ultrafast laser and electronmethodologies are being developed to study

the dynamics of photogenerated charges. Inthe Functional Nanomaterials & Devices Group,electrochemistry-based technologies are beingdeveloped for capacitive energy storage,mobile ion batteries, on-chip storage solutions.In the Photonics Laboratory, group-IIIsemiconductor materials and devices aredeveloped for laser light sources andphotodetectors.Functional Nanomaterials Lab (FuNL)at KAUST

Nanotechnology has a greatimpact on society. TheNational NanotechnologyCoordinated Infrastructure isan NSF sponsored network

and is critical to supporting the growth ofnanotechnology. The Research TriangleNanotechnology Network is ananotechnology collaborative set in theexciting region of North Carolina, and it hasthe infrastructure in place to support diversenano-research and commercialization. TheResearch Triangle Nanotechnology is acollaborative effort between three keyuniversities in North Carolina: UNC-ChapelHill, Duke University, and NC State

With morethan 1 billiontons of non-food biomass

predicted to be available annually by 2030,there is a vast opportunity to convert thisdomestic resource into biofuels andbioproducts. Thus providing jobs, generatingrevenue, and reducing greenhouse gasemissions. Catalysis plays a central role inconverting these biomass and carbon-richwaste feedstocks into fuels and chemicals;however, critical catalysis challenges exist thatare limiting commercialization of emergingbioenergy technologies. By leveraging uniqueU.S. Department of Energy National Laboratorycapabilities and expertise, the ChemicalCatalysis for Bioenergy consortium seeks toovercome these catalysis challenges andaccelerate the catalyst and processdevelopment cycle.Chemical Catalysis for BioenergyConsortium (ChemCatBio)

The AcceleratorTest Facility is aDOE Office ofScience UserFacility

supported by the DOE’s AcceleratorStewardship Program, which has operatedfor over 25 years at BNL. It providescapabilities to users free of charge forresearch into fundamental acceleratorscience and for the development ofaccelerator technologies to support bothscientific and industrial applications.Brookhaven National Laboratory,Accelerator Test Facility

There is a hugepotential for

unconventional production methods withinnanomaterial production for variousapplications like catalysis, magnetic materialsand printed electronics. At the DanishTechnological Institute, the skills within theproduction of nanocatalysts and materials arebased on our patented flow production methodof suspended nanoparticles. With thisproduction method, they have achievedoutstanding material properties.Danish Technological Institute

The new Institute of FunctionalNanosystems at the University of Ulmfocuses on the application of materials andnew developments in optoelectronics,including GaN-based electronics,optoelectronics, VCSELs and opticalinterconnects, and high-powersemiconductor lasers. The application ofmaterials to key societal issues such asenvironment & sustainability, energy(energy production, energy conversion &energy storage) and medicine & healthcareis an important part of the institute’sresearch. Additionally, effectivecollaboration and partnership is animportant part of daily work, both in termsof encouraging international collaboration,but also encouraging increasedcollaboration between universities,government and industry.Institute of Functional Nanosystems atthe University of Ulm

The Army,with itssignificantuse of

technology on the battlefield, relies onbatteries that are often ponderous andpotentially dangerous. Army operationsrequire that batteries are placed in extremethermal and mechanical conditions that canbe detrimental to the batteries and potentiallyharmful to the Soldier. The goal of the Centerfor Research in Extreme Batteres (CREB) isto foster collaboration in energy storagetechnologies to accelerate the rate oftechnology development. The focus is energystorage technologies that can be used inextreme environments and applications, suchas defense, space and biomedicalapplications.Center For Research In ExtremeBatteries (CREB)
