1,909 abstracts have been accepted to be presented at the XV SBPMat\/ Brazil-MRS Meeting.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Registration:<\/strong>\u00a0Registration for the event is now open. Early registration discount deadline is 31 August.\u00a0Here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Awards:<\/strong>\u00a0Those interested in participating in the event’s student prize competition, the Bernhard Gross Award, which selects one oral and one poster presentation in each symposium, must submit an extended abstract by August 22.\u00a0<\/span>Know more in the instructions to authors.<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Special sessions. <\/strong>Organized by the initiative “Research in Germany”, the “Science Lunch<\/strong>” (September 26 from 12 am to 2 pm) will bring together scientists and funding agencies from Germany to discuss research opportunities in that country. Learn more about it.<\/strong><\/a> On September 27, also from 12 am to 2 pm, \u00a0the round table “Meet the editors<\/strong>” will host Paul Weiss (editor in chief of ACS Nano), Susan Sinnot (editor in chief of the Computational Materials Science) and Tim Smith (IOP Publishing director) who will discuss scientific publication. The links to register (free) for these activities will soon be published in the SBPMat website.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tutorials:<\/strong>\u00a0Two tutorials will be offered on the afternoon of September 25 to those registered for the event at no extra cost. One is on\u00a0<\/span>computer simulations on atomic systems using Reactive Force Fields<\/a>\u00a0(theory and practice). The second, organized by Professor Valtencir Zucolotto, will address\u00a0<\/span>capabilities required to make high-impact science<\/a><\/span>, including scientific writing. Reserve your place during registration. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A team of scientists from Brazilian institutions have made a contribution to the field of hydrogen production, with the aim of using this technology as an alternative fuel. The researchers first developed a new method to produce metal oxide nanoparticles from ionic liquids. The team then tested the performance of the obtained nanoparticles as catalysts of a hydrogen production process from abundant renewable resources. The study was reported in a paper recently published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A<\/em>. See our story about the paper.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Interviews with plenary speakers of the XV Brazil-MRS Meeting<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Organic semiconductors do not mystify Professor Ifor Samuel, leader and founder of a research group and a R&D center on this subject at the University of St Andrews (Scotland). In his daily routine Prof. Samuel not only strives to thoroughly understand these materials, but also to find new applications for them in different fields, from dermatologic medicine to the detection of explosives. In addition to his hundreds of articles published with over 12,000 citations, Prof. Samuel has several patents which have been licensed to companies. In the XV Brazil-MRS SBPMat Meeting, he will deliver a plenary lecture on optoelectronics based on organic semiconductors. Here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
