I'm pleased to announce a new symposium called "Chalcogenide Semiconductor Research and Applications" that will debut at the International Materials Research Congress (IMRC), August 2017, in Cancun (Mexico). Abstracts are being accepted until March 17. I hope this becomes a new home for the diverse community of researchers in chalcogenide electronic materials, from fundamental physics and chemistry all the way to device engineering. See you in Cancun!
