MRS TV talks to Prineha Narang of Harvard University about her Outstanding Early Career Investigator Award and her talk presentation, “Illuminating Quantum Matter.”
The MRS Communications Lecture Prize recognizes excellence in the field of materials research through work published in MRS Communications. It is intended to honor the authors of an outstanding paper published in the journal during the preceding year. Andreas Lendlein of the University of Potsdam was awarded this for his article, “Bio-inspired and computer-supported design of modulated shape changes in polymer materials,” which was published in MRS Communications in July 2021. Lendlein's presentation is available online through June 30, 2022.
The MRS Graduate Student Awards are intended to honor and encourage graduate students whose academic achievements and current materials research display a high level of excellence and distinction. In addition to the MRS Graduate Student Gold and Silver Awards, the Arthur Nowick Graduate Student Award, which honors the late Dr. Arthur Nowick and his lifelong commitment to teaching and mentoring students in materials science, is presented to a GSA finalist who shows particular promise as a future teacher and mentor.

Today is the last day of the 2022 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit. A great benefit of the hybrid design is that some of the talks are available on the virtual platform through June 30, 2022. This includes the Plenary and Featured Talks - which means all of the presentations given in Symposium X: Frontiers of Materials Research!
As a preview to the Symposium X speakers, here are two of the interviews done with MRS-TV.
"From Atom to System—Tera-Scale Energy Transition with Better Batteries” – Symposium X speaker Y. Shirley Meng
The Light Stuff: Enabling Sustainable, Product-Selective Photocatalysts with Plasmonics – Symposium X speaker Jennifer Dionne of Stanford University
Blogger: Judy Meiksin
Sossina Haile of Northwestern University discusses her Plenary address to the 2022 MRS Spring Meeting, titled “Vignettes in Solid State Electrochemistry for Sustainable Energy Technologies.” Haile's presentation can be viewed online through June 30, 2022.

The image shows the Ti-Ta-Hf-Zr-Nb High entropy alloy (HEA) particles fabricated by gas atomization. Since the particle's surface has a planet-like structure, it is expressed as a hidden planet, Planet X, which has not yet been discovered. The original image was obtained using TESCAN MIRA 3 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM).
Angelica Rain Talosig, University of California, Irvine
Scanning electron microscopy image of a self-assembled ZIF-8 metal-organic frameworks. Two distinct crystal structures are seen in this image: the truncated dodecahedron structures are ZIF-8 (DIA) and the flower structures are ZIF-8 (SOD).

The firework pattern is obtained from a nanoparticle thin film containing radial microcracks created by drying a drop of magnetite nanoparticle dispersion on a glass substrate. When imaged in a dark-field optical microscope, the microcracks strongly scatter light, producing the firework effect. No post-processing was done to the image.

This colorized SEM image shows a conductive water lily structure formed using direct laser writing in a polymer containing PEDOT:PSS.
The MRS Awards Program strives to acknowledge outstanding contributors to the progress of materials research and to recognize their exciting and profound accomplishments. MRS Awards Committee Chair Suveen Mathaudhu discusses the MRS Awards program.
Mattia Biesuz of the University of Trento was awarded an MRS Postdoctoral Award “for fundamental contribution to the knowledge and development of flash sintering phenomena and processes in ceramics.”
MRS TV speaks with Kwadwo Osseo-Asare, the recipient of the 2022 MRS Impact Award for sustained contributions to building a global materials science and engineering community that spans continents from Africa to the Americas.
