Note of Condolences<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

B-MRS expresses deep regret for the death of S\u00e9rgio Mascarenhas Oliveira, retired Professor at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP). Mascarenhas passed away on May 31, at the age of 93. In 2012, B-MRS honored him with the \u201cMemorial Lecture Joaquim da Costa Ribeiro\u201d for his impact on the Brazilian Materials research community. At this moment, the B-MRS Board would like to remember him as a great scientist who encouraged new talents and believed in collaborative work and in the entrepreneurial and creative capacity of the Brazilian people.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To know more about Prof Sergio Mascarenhas, read the text<\/a> written by Prof Roberto Mendon\u00e7a Faria (IFSC-USP), former B-MRS president of B-MRS.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Advocacy<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– B-MRS subscribed the letter to the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovations, requesting a series of measures for the release of FNDCT resources.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– B-MRS and dozens of entities endorsed a letter to Paulo Guedes, Minister of Economy, requesting information on the additional R$ 5 billion to the budget that, according to him, were received by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– B-MRS was present at the Forum of Scientific Societies Affiliated to SBPC, which brought together, virtually, the representatives of 120 scientific societies to discuss actions and strategies for 2021. President M\u00f4nica Cotta and scientific director Andrea de Camargo represented B-MRS.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Reading Tips<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Scientists synthesize, for the first time, two-dimensional biphenylene sheets, a flat network of carbon atoms with electronic properties that are different from graphene properties (Science). Know more.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Scientists break a resolution record in the visualization of atoms by solving limitations of a technique developed in 2018. The solution allows to locate individual atoms in the 3 dimensions of a sample (Science). Know more.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Materials against water scarcity: Scientists create hydrogel microstructures inspired by the shape of cactus spines, which collect water from the air 24 hours a day (Nature Communications). Know more.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Scientists are able to “turn on” and “turn off” the antiferromagnetism of a material, opening possibilities for the development of faster, more compact and safer memories than the current ones for data storage (Physical Review Letters). Know more.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– The United Nations General Assembly announced that 2022 will be the International Year of Glass. The initiative celebrates the social, technological, scientific, economic and artistic importance of this material. Know more.<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
