The International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory enables long-term, iterative studies within the unique, microgravity environment inside the ISS, including in-space materials research in the areas of advanced or exotic materials production. Access to persistent microgravity opens new opportunities for novel materials manufacturing, including unique microstructures, larger crystal growth, and potentially increased homogeneity. Please join us for a discussion of new research opportunities and current case studies of in-space production of advanced materials.
Are you interested in learning more about the why, how and what of publishing a materials science book? Publishing a book is a powerful tool, allowing you to communicate your ideas to a global audience, building your reputation in the field and accelerating your career.
Join this webinar to hear from Springer Publishing Editors Charles Glaser, Christoph Baumann and Charlotte Hollingworth about the 5 easy stages in the publishing process and how they have helped many authors just like you, publish a book.
Nanostructured metals have been widely investigated due to their abundant interfaces (grain boundaries and phase boundaries) that can drastically impact the mechanical and physical properties of materials. The March, 2021 issue of MRS Bulletin highlights current research on nanometals, including gradient-structured metallic materials with high strength and ductility, deformability of hierarchical multiphase metallic nanocomposites, strategies to improve thermal stability of nanocrystalline metals, fatigue and fracture response of nanocrystalline and nanotwinned metals, and other breakthroughs that provide an in-depth understanding of the forefronts of the field.
This webinar will present three talks with authors from the MRS Bulletin issue. An interactive Q&A will be held with each of the speakers following their talks.

Soft materials represent a large portion of biomedical and bioengineering research. Until recently, the mechanical properties of soft tissues and hydrogels have not truly been studied. However, given recent developments of new scaffolds and more localized medical treatments, understanding the mechanical properties of soft biomaterials is becoming critical.
This webinar will elucidate the nanoindentation approach for the measurement of soft materials that will be demonstrated via several topics and pertinent real-world examples.
An interactive Q&A session will follow the presentation.

This presentation focuses on structure property/relationships in advanced materials, emphasizing multifunctional systems that exhibit multiple functionalities. Such systems are then used as building blocks for the fabrication of various emerging technologies. In particular, nanostructured materials synthesized via the bottom–up approach present an opportunity for future generation low cost manufacturing of devices.
We focus in particular on recent developments in solar technologies that aim to address the energy challenge, including third generation photovoltaics, solar hydrogen production, luminescent solar concentrators and other optoelectronic devices.

With the latest developments in materials science, a new technological trend entailing the creation of advanced mechanical and electronic systems with sophisticated features using soft materials is gaining momentum. This emerging field, soft robotics, has pioneering novel applications in robots and electronics. The April, 2021 issue of MRS Bulletin looks at the challenges and opportunities for revolutionizing robotics and for exploring new materials and fabrication schemes.
This webinar will present three talks with authors from the MRS Bulletin issue. An interactive Q&A will be held with each of the speakers following their talks.
Spectroscopic ellipsometry is a non-destructive optical technique, precisely characterizing thin films from sub-nanometer to tens of microns thick. The technique covers a wide spectrum range beyond visible wavelengths. It has been applied to outer space research in deep ultra-violet, sensor designs in infra-red, and understanding properties at terahertz frequencies.
Ellipsometry is sensitive to film thickness and uniformity, refractive index, bandgap energy, alloy composition, anisotropy, surface roughness and conductivity. In this presentation, advanced applications using ellipsometer in the fields such as wide bandgap semiconductors, OLED display, optical coatings, photovoltaic, and 2D materials will be demonstrated. Dynamic ellipsometry has been attracting more and more attention, providing real-time process control and property monitoring. Examples of ellipsometry in understanding liquid/solid interface absorption and monitoring in-situ deposition will be presented.
An interactive Q&A session will follow the presentation.

The discovery and design of new High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) presents a challenge due to the scale and complexity of the potential combinatorial space. Modeling HEAs using the well established CALPHAD approach presents unique challenges compared with other alloy systems due to the lack of a single principle element. In this webinar, we describe the approach taken in developing the TCHEA thermodynamic database, which contains 26 elements, where almost all underlying binary and over 400 Ternary systems have been critically evaluated to capture the composition and temperature dependence, and also the corresponding MOBHEA mobility database.
Examples will be given of calculations successfully performed in the interpretation of experimental observations and design of new HEAs, for instance, to predict the phase stability and solid solubility of BCC and FCC, to understand the microstructure evolution, to estimate the density of alloys, to interpret the deformation mechanism associated with the stacking fault energy based on the estimation of energy difference between HCP and FCC , to investigate the oxidation behavior, and to design cemented carbide cutting tools using HEA as the binder phase.
An interactive Q&A session will follow the presentation.
