Poster prize winners at FPi-12

Big congratulations to the poster prize winners at the 12th International Symposium on Functional π-Electron Systems (Fπ-12) which took place in Washington, USA from the 19th – 24th July.

Matthias Stolte (Universitat Wurzburg, Germany) and Amir Mazaheripour (UC Irvine) were awarded first place poster prizes sponsored by Materials Horizons and Journal of Materials Chemistry A, whilst the runner up prizes were sponsored by Materials Horizons, Journal of Materials Chemistry B and Journal of Materials Chemistry C. These were presented to: Sahika Inal (CMP-EMSE, France), Nathan Kirchhofer (UCSB), Ana Fokina (Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz) and Suhyun Jung (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology). Titles of their winning posters can be found here.

The symposium regularly attracts world-wide participants who meet to discuss their new achievements in research fields. Another symposium, scheduled for 2017 will take place in Hong Kong and will be titled Fπ-13.

Mat4Energy

This workshop aims at giving an up-to-date description and review of the different materials and technologies currently being implemented for various energy applications, with a special focus on renewables. It will be organized in three main blocks: materials for energy conversion, materials for energy storage, materials for an efficient use of energy.  The 5 Plenary sessions will cover the fundamentals of each thematic axis.  Related topics such as modeling and characterization will be tackled both through the plenary talks and the lectures.

In addition, the symposium will also provide an overview of the most promising materials being investigated at present.

All participants are invited to present their work in a poster session. The best posters of the conference, regardless of the field, will be awarded by APL Materials, the Royal Society of Chemistry and their new journal Materials Horizons http://bit.ly/1noj1K8

Springing into action at MRS San Francisco!

Heading to San Francisco for the Spring MRS meeting?

Drop by RSC Publishing booth #602 to find materials that matter.

If you’ve seen us before at the Fall MRS meeting, you’ll know we publish a diverse range of books and journals covering the breadth of materials science – from the synthesis of materials through to an assortment of applications.

At this meeting, we’re celebrating the launch of our new title, Materials Horizons. The journal will publish first reports of exceptional significance at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering – and the great news is that all the content will be free to access until the end of 2015. It opens for submissions on 2 April 2013 – find out more at the booth.

Of course, we’ll have our other top titles on display, including Biomaterials Science, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C and the flagship general chemistry journal, Chemical Science.

You can enjoy a conference discount of 30% (or 35% if you’re an RSC member) on all RSC books on display at our booth, including Janus Particle Synthesis, Self-assembly and Applications from our Smart Materials book series and our popular science title, The Science of Chocolate.

So to find out more about cutting-edge research, top quality reference works or the best place to publish – make sure you visit booth #602.
