The Government

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is one of several agencies that serve as members of the Federal Coordinating Council of Science, Engineering, and Technology. In this role, EPA chairs the Environmental, Safety, and Health Work Group of the Committee on Materials. One of the primary purposes of the Committee on Materials is to strengthen the government-industry:university partnership in materials research. Strengthening and building this partnership is also one of the goals of the Materials Research Society. You bring together an interdisciplinary group of scientists and engineers from industry, government, and academia to exchange ideas on the forefront of materials research.A recent National Research Council report, Materials Science and Engineering for the 1990s: Maintaining Competitiveness in the Age of Materials, identified six major science and engineering initiatives. One of these six initiatives was the environment. I believe that we will see, over the next few years, a major thrust in materials research to develop environmentally benign or “environmentally friendly” materials—materials that are less toxic and less polluting and do not deplete scarce natural resources, materials that have longer useful lives, and materials that can be recycled and require less energy to manufacture.

AbstractThroughout human history, most further developments or new achievements were accompanied by new materials or new processes that enabled the technologic progress. With concrete devices and applications in mind, synthesis and subsequent treatment of materials naturally went along with the progress. The aim of the underlying article is to spot the role of optimization, of discovery, of trial-and-error approaches, of fundamentals and curiosity driven design and development. In a consecutive examination, five missions addressing the challenges facing our world (identified by the European Council) will be cross linked with seven topical areas from materials science defined by the European Materials Research Society. The scope of this examination is to identify approaches and methods to further develop and innovate materials which form the basis of the anticipated solutions.

The Town

The 1989 Spring Meeting of the Materials Research Society will be held at the Town and County Hotel in San Diego, with events spanning April 22-29. Meeting Chairs Robin Farrow, Dick Siegel and Angelica Stacy have developed a program of 16 technical symposia that reflect the continuing key role of materials science in the development of both mature and emerging technologies.Several new topics will reflect emerging areas, including materials for optical storage of information (Symposium F), ultrathin magnetic films (Symposium G), and materials problems of infrastructure (Symposium P). A special workshop will provide a technology update on diamond films (Symposium P) and will feature a joint session with Symposium H, Optical Materials: Processing and Science.Plenary speaker Linus Pauling, research professor at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, will discuss quasicrystals, materials whose atomic structure displays perfect five-fold symmetry, but whose atomic pattern is never exactly repeated as it would be in conventional crystals. During the Plenary Session MRS will also recognize graduate students who have made outstanding contributions as authors or co-authors of papers presented at the 1989 Spring Meeting.
