Materials researchers join historic March for Science
Cities representing key hubs of materials research participated in the event, from Boston to San Francisco, and Tokyo to London.
OF INTEREST TO THE MATERIALS COMMUNITY
Manufacturing Li-ion batteries for safety and performance
The benefit of the Li-ion cell lies in its high energy and power density, which has given manufacturers scope to produce high-performance gadgets that are also very small. But this, in turn, can pose a problem.
Physicists accelerate plans for a new Large Hadron Collider three times as big
An international league of scientists is kicking off the decades-long process of developing the successor to the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.

SCIENCE AS ART
Liquid Metal World Map
Dishit Parekh, North Carolina State University
Attached is an image shot via a DSLR camera with macro zoom lens. It shows the selective wetting phenomena of a gallium-based liquid metal on copper. The world map design was first patterned using a laser-writer on a fluorescent copper-clad circuit board from which fresh copper was then etched out using the conventional photolithography process.
A Second Place Winner from the Science as Art competition at the 2017 MRS Spring Meeting.

EDITOR'S CHOICE VIDEO
Gerd Ceder on materials computation
MRS Bulletin Material Matters
“Materials discovery seemed so accidental, I wanted to develop a method to discover materials much faster.”
MRS Bulletin’s Fiona C. Meldrum, from the University of Leeds, talks with Gerd Ceder, Chancellor’s Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Ceder talks about materials discovery and how students should choose their area of research. Ceder is an MRS Fellow as well as a recipient of the MRS Medal (2009) for his work on batteries.
