Harnessing Materials for Energy
27 June 2008, 10:56

Categories: energy

The MRS bulletin Harnessing Materials for Energy focuses on the most important materials research challenges that need to be addressed to move toward secure, affordable, and environmentally sustainable energy, to meet the world’s accelerating energy needs. The issue follows the full energy chain including production, storage, distribution, use, and efficiency. The articles are designed to present an objective and global view of the energy challenges within each energy sector and the promising transformational materials research directions for meeting these challenges as far into the future as is scientifically feasible to consider (targeting 10-, 25-, and 50-year outlooks). The issue was launched at the 2008 MRS Spring Meeting with an Energy Forum featuring presentations by leading experts in the field.
