The Materials Research Society (MRS) will recognize 12 Members as MRS Fellows at the 2022 MRS Spring Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. The honor of MRS Fellow is bestowed upon outstanding Members whose sustained and distinguished contributions to the advancement of materials research are internationally recognized.

The Materials Research Society’s (MRS) Impact Award honors outstanding individuals who have displayed excellence in areas of science communication, education, advancing diversity, mentoring or community engagement, which reflect the Society’s pursuit to advance materials science and technology to improve the quality of life. This year's recipient is Kwadwo Osseo-Asare, The Pennsylvania State University.

MRS will award Prineha Narang, Harvard University, with the 2022 Outstanding Early Career Investigator Award. Narang was selected “for critical advances in the understanding of materials physics, optical sciences and topology for the prediction and design of quantum materials.”

MRS has named Annamaria Petrozza, Italian Institute of Technology, recipient of the 2022 Innovation in Materials Characterization Award "for the development and innovative use of time-resolved carrier dynamics measurements, from sub-picoseconds to milliseconds, to fundamentally advance our understanding of the photo-physics of metal-halide perovskites, leading to materials and devices of improved stability."

The Materials Research Society has named Molly M. Stevens, professor of biomedical materials and regenerative medicine at Imperial College London, recipient of the Mid-Career Researcher Award "for innovative biosensing nanomaterials technologies for point-of-care disease diagnostics."

The Materials Research Society has selected Mattia Biesuz, University of Trento, and Aditya Sood, Stanford University, as recipients of the 2022 MRS Postdoctoral Awards. This award recognizes postdoctoral scholars who are showing exceptional promise and excellence in scientific research, leadership, advocacy, outreach or teaching.

The Materials Research Society (MRS) has named Emily A. Carter, University of California, Los Angeles, and Princeton University, the 2021 recipient of the Materials Theory Award “for advances in quantum mechanics theory with broad applications to materials and chemical sciences.”

Stafford Sheehan, Air Company, has been selected as the 2021 recipient of the MRS Nelson “Buck” Robinson Science and Technology Award for Renewable Energy.

The Materials Research Society (MRS) has selected Zhijie Chen, Northwestern University, and Dasha Nelidova, Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel, as the 2021 recipients of the MRS Postdoctoral Awards. This award recognizes postdoctoral scholars who are showing exceptional promise and excellence in scientific research, leadership, advocacy, outreach or teaching.

Yury Gogotsi, Drexel University, is the 2021 recipient of the MRS Medal and will present at the 2021 MRS Fall Meeting.

Nicholas A. Kotov will present the Materials Research Society's David Turnbull Lectureship on December 2 during the 2021 MRS Fall Meeting.

MRS Bulletin has named Tedrick Thomas Salim Lew, Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, Singapore, as the 2021 recipient of the MRS Bulletin Postdoctoral Publication Prize.

The Materials Research Society (MRS) is pleased to announce the Vice President/President Elect and new Board Members for 2022, elected by the Society's global membership of over 12,000.

The Materials Research Society (MRS), and its journal, MRS Energy & Sustainability, are pleased to announce four new editorial advisory board members.

The Materials Research Society (MRS) and Springer Nature have signed a strategic new publishing agreement that will come into effect starting on January 1, 2021. At that time, the two organizations will partner to publish all five journals in the MRS portfolio—MRS Bulletin, Journal of Materials Research (JMR), MRS Communications, MRS Energy & Sustainability, and MRS Advances—as well as books. In addition, Springer Nature will host the archived content of the long-standing MRS Online Proceedings Library (OPL) and the MRS Internet Journal of Nitride Semiconductor Research (MIJ-NSR).
