Green Cards for Scientific Researchers—How to Win Your EB-1/NIW Case!
Apr 22, 2025
Interested in obtaining a permanent Green Card to work in the United States? Generally, a foreign national seeking permanent residence through employment must be sponsored by his or her employer via the PERM Labor Certification process.
There are numerous routes to employment-based permanent residence that do not require PERM Labor Certification, thereby allowing foreign nationals to avoid this complicated process while also reducing the wait time to obtain employment-based permanent residence.
This presentation will cover and compare the criteria for the EB-1A classification for foreign nationals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, the EB-1B classification for foreign nationals who are outstanding researchers or professors, and the National Interest Waiver (“NIW”) classification. The presentation will also discuss the different types of nonimmigrant visa work classifications.
Advanced Nanogenerators
Apr 23, 2025
Nanogenerators, relying on piezoelectric, triboelectric and pyroelectric effects to convert ambient
mechanical energy into electrical power or signals represent an interdisciplinary field of research and applications, encompassing materials science, physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering.
This issue of MRS Bulletin presents an overview of the current research in the field of nanogenerators from fundamental science and property improvements to a broad range of technological applications in medical science, robotics, environmental protection, human–machine interfacing, security, and marine science.
This webinar is presented in conjunction with the March and April issue of MRS Bulletin.
