TMS Launches Web Site on Energy Initiatives. . .
. . .at energy.tms.org
TMS
Posted on: 7/28/2010... TMS recently unveiled an “electrifying” new website—TMS Energy—at energy.tms.org.

The new website serves as the news and information hub for TMS Energy, TMS’ strategic initiative focused on providing leadership, facilitation, and resources that generate and support effective energy solutions based on the innovative development and use of materials. TMS Energy builds on the long-standing involvement and expertise of TMS members in energy issues, with a particular emphasis on advanced systems, sustainable production, and efficient utilization.

Resources offered on the website include:
  • Project Updates: In addition to providing details on new TMS Energy projects and progress reports on existing ones, separate project home pages house relevant supplementary information, such as PDFs of related articles and links to helpful resources.
  • Publications: All TMS Energy reports will be posted on the website as soon as they are published.
  • Meeting and Event Information: This section offers news and links on energy-related conferences, symposia, and other educational opportunities, as well as access to participation in the development of resources and strategies.
Future plans for energy.tms.org include the addition of an image library, access to project presentations, and development of tools and resources focused on the role of materials science and engineering in meeting both short- and long-term energy challenges.

TMS 2011 Abstract Extension Deadline This Weekend
Submit Work by July 31 for February Conference
TMS
Posted on: 7/26/2010...

With a record 72 symposia planned for TMS 2011 Annual Meeting, there are ample opportunities to present abstracts on the latest research, applications and solutions. But that window of opportunity will be closing this weekend.

This year's program has been divided into seven broad programming tracks: aluminum and magnesium; advanced characterization, modeling and materials performance; high performance materials; materials and society: energy and sustainable production; materials processing and production; nanoscale and amorphous materials; and professional development.

A complete listing of symposia by subject area can be found through the link below. Browse the categories to find a symposium that suits your interest areas and submit your work to the appropriate symposium.

TMS 2011 will be held February 27–March 3 in San Diego, California. Abstracts will be accepted through July 31 and can be submitted on-line through the following link.

TMS Commences Roadmapping Process on Stationary Electrical Energy Storage
A New TMS Energy Project
TMS
Posted on: 7/21/2010...

Overcoming technical obstacles to deploying stationary electrical energy storage (EES)—a critical enabling technology for effectively and economically integrating renewable energy methods into the electrical grid—is the focus of a new project undertaken by TMS, in support of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity (DOE-OE) and the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).

Funded by Sandia National Laboratories, the project’s first phase commences this week when TMS convenes an array of experts to participate in the Advanced Materials and Devices for Stationary Electrical Energy Storage Workshop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Complementing the ideas and strategies that emerge from this event will be the findings of the July 19-20 Utility Industry Needs for Stationary Electrical Energy Storage Workshop, organized primarily by Sandia with support from TMS. The workshop end product is to be a technical roadmap identifying the highest impact materials research and development opportunities related to stationary EES. A final report is set to be published in late October, with preliminary findings due to be presented to the DOE in late August.

The stationary EES project is the newest undertaking for TMS Energy, a strategic initiative of TMS to provide leadership, facilitation, and resources that generate and support effective energy solutions based on the innovative development and use of materials. For additional information on this and other TMS Energy projects and resources, go to theTMS Energy website.
