问候Electronic Materials and Applications 2017 conference!
The meeting, jointly organized byACerS Basic Science Division和电子产品Division, welcomed a record 391 attendees to Orlando, Florida, for the eighth edition of this conference.
Plenary speakers lived up to EMA standards for excellence—good solid science told in the context of the “big picture” of applications.
Sossina Haile来自西北大学（伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿）的来自西北大学（Evanston），使用热解产生氢气，这是实施氢经济的明显重要组成部分。
Neil Alfordfrom Imperial College London in the United Kingdom talked about his work on masers—microwave amplification by stimulation emission of radiation. According to Alford, “Economic growth is dependent on microwave communications,” and these complex materials systems will be needed to advance communications technologies.
周三晚上的海报会议是我目睹的最活跃的一场。电子部门负责人决定根据其最佳海报奖对所有海报进行评判，这可能使每个人都有机会讲述他们的故事。
Student participation here has been especially strong, with several professors bringing their groups with them. In addition, ACerS and ECerS partnered again this year to hold the second冬季研讨会.
冬季研讨会’s 24 attendees will stay after the conference for a day-long program tailored to career development and a tour of Kennedy Space Center. In addition, the Basic Science Division continued its tradition of orienting students with a tutorial, this year on the topic of ceramic microstructure evolution.
