The AVS Symposium is the premier forum for the presentation and discussion of the science and technology of materials, interfaces, and processing. This year, the Symposium’s theme is “Advances in Interfacial Science for Energy and The Environment.” The challenges facing the development and implementation of new energy sources and solutions to outstanding environmental problems have never been more important. The AVS 67th Annual Symposium will highlight the emergent science and technology of materials and techniques for environmental applications and energy transformation. AVS 67 will be an ideal forum for presentation and discussion of your latest results and will provide many opportunities to connect with other engineers and scientists. A sampling of sessions that encompass this theme include: • Electronic and Photonic Devices for Energy Conversion and Storage • Bioenergy and Biomass Conversion • 2D Materials for Electrochemical, Energy, and Environmental Applications • Structural Characterization of Energy Materials • Analysis of Surfaces and Interfaces Related to Energy and the Environment • Astrochemistry and Surfaces for Space and Extreme Environments • Vacuum Technology for Fusion Research • Hybrid Nanomaterials Based on Biologically-Inspired Approaches • Advances in Heterogeneous Electrocatalysis • Atomic Layer Processing: Integration of Deposition and Etching for Advanced Material Processing • Environmental Interfaces • Catalysis at the Metal Oxide Interface • Pushing the Boundaries of Energy Transfer in Materials • MEMS Technology for Energy and Environment • Energy Efficient Nanoelectronics • Plasma-Engineered Materials and Interfaces for the Environment • Electronic Interfaces and Contacts In addition, we will feature programming on innovative topical areas.

She then introduced Patricia Dehmer to provide an overview of the Department of Energy (DOE) and of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES). In her preliminary remarks, Dehmer welcomed the members to the meeting and stressed the importance of this advisory committee, BESAC, pointing out that it produced outcomes as well as outputs. One outcome has been the Birgeneau Report that reviewed the major light-source initiatives; it will be the force in determining funding for those sources, and it has already become part of the vernacular on Capitol Hill. An output has been the analysis of the shutdown of the High-Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR). She pointed out that BESAC already has three charges for this year: to review the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), to conduct a workshop on fourth-generation light sources, and to conduct a workshop on complex systems.

  • ACS: Taking Chemistry to Hollywood Science Is Everywhere
    Thought Leadership ACS: Taking chemistry to Hollywood Science is everywhere. From your sofa to your car, pretty much any product you can think of would not exist without the work of science, and chemistry in particular. This fact is often under-appreciated by the public, but for Dr Donna Nelson of the American Chemical Society, she has made it her mission to change this. Following her work as the science advisor to Breaking Bad, she now hopes to continue her Hollywood adventure in the hope of changing the public perception and appreciation of science. We at Research Features recently spoke to her about this and much more. reaking Bad is regarded by many science is so important. as one of the best American TV drama series ever.

  • The Discovery[1,2] of the First Stable Binary Icosahedral Phase

These two morphologies manifest different degrees of quasicrystalline order, or phason strain. The discovery of i-Sc12Zn88 suggests that a reexamination of binary phase diagrams at compositions close to crystalline approximant structures may reveal other, new binary quasicrystalline phases. 1 Icosahedral quasicrystals, discovered 25 years ago[1], possess long-range positional and orientational order, but lack the periodic translational order of crystalline solids[2]. Although they form, almost readily, in a wide variety of ternary and quaternary metallic alloys, examples of stable binary icosahedral quasicrystals are quite rare. Indeed, it has been nearly a decade since the discovery of the only known stable binary icosahedral phases in Cd-Yb and Cd-Ca[3,4]. Binary alloys offer several important advantages, not the least of which is their simplicity, relative to ternary and quaternary compositions, for structural studies and theoretical treatments.
