6th Edition of International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering

Welcome Message Materials 2024

Hello, it’s 2023 and 2024….What’s New in Materials Research ?

Does it feel like nothing new is happening in materials research and commercialization these days ? Is graphene new ? Nope, graphene has been around for centuries. Are nanomaterials new ? Nope, the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative started in 2000, and existed long before then. Are supramolecular chemistries new ? Nope the Nobel Prize for supramolecular chemistry was given in 1987. How about the Materials Genome Initiative ? Nope, President Obama announced the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative in 2011. I mean, what new is really happening in materials research ? And is anything new being commercialized ? Replacing lithium ion batteries ? They have been around since the 1990s. So, where are the new advances ? Where is the progress ? As a frequent conference plenary speaker, I ask this question all the time at conferences I attend.

Please don’t turn to social media (or even some news agencies) for answers. They seem to get everything wrong and only publish stories hoping to stir controversary. Turn to scientists. Turn to conferences. But only turn to conference that aren’t recycling old materials research but instead are highlighting new innovations in materials research. Turn to conferences that emphasizing not just fundamental research but real commercialization of such new materials that are changing human lives. How about picomaterials ! How about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in new and improved material design ! How about additive manufacturing building homes and space stations ! Now that’s new and such efforts are being commercialized.

I invite and welcome you all to Materials 2024 where new materials ideas will be presented by real scientists. We will emphasize commercialization as well to discuss how such research can impact real human lives. Break the habits of old conferences and old materials research. Discover what’s new in materials research and commercialization, today !

6th Edition of International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering | Hybrid Event

Dear congress visitors,

It is indeed an honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the Materials 2024 meeting of the year! Significant progress has been made in the synthesis and characterization of engineered nanoparticles and nanodevices for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Some groundbreaking discoveries in cancer biology and oncology have been achieved through the use of nanotechnology, including lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), which have emerged throughout the pharmaceutical industry as promising vehicles for the delivery of a variety of therapeutics. This meeting aims to share new fundamental knowledge and advanced technologies related to the development of nanotechnology-based solutions to major cancer-related challenges. It is clear that further development and understanding of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems and combination therapies are needed to improve the effectiveness of nanotechnology-based diagnostic capabilities and cancer interventions. Clinically, an increased incidence of a variety of cancers is observed in immunosuppressed patients; therefore, I urge materials scientists to focus on the discovery of multifunctional theranostic strategies and tools to reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment of cancer. These efforts will enable the translation of transformative nanotechnology-based cancer interventions from basic research to clinical application.
