This symposium focuses on the fundamental research and device application of magnetic and spintronic materials and structures, including 2D materials, topological materials, ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic metals, and insulators and their heterostructures, with applications in memory, logics, probabilistic computing, and neuromorphic computing.

Symposium E covers materials, devices, and systems and related applications toward the cutting-edge development in flexible, stretchable, and wearable electronics.

This symposium focuses on the fundamental research and device applications of low-dimensional photonic materials and structures, including 2D materials, quantum dots, artificial metasurfaces, metallic nanostructures and their hybrids, with applications in nonlinear nanophotonics, quantum photonics, miniaturized optoelectronics, and next-generation integrated photonic chips.

Collection of ambient and solar energies to power devices is a very promising technology for energy harvesting applications where batteries are impractical. The performance and potential of these devices is dependent strongly on the performance and specific properties of materials. Recently, there are a range of organic, inorganic, and hybrid materials emerging, showing high promise in energy harvesting. Our symposium will feature presentations that cover scientific and technological aspects of these 'star' materials and devices, including and beyond perovskites and Y6. The goal of this symposium is to provide an international platform for stimulating knowledge exchanges and research collaborations for exploring frontier research on materials and devices for energy harvesting.

Explore the cutting-edge progress of materials science in the fields of various energy storage batteries (lithium batteries, sodium batteries, potassium batteries, zinc batteries, etc.), supercapacitors, electrocatalytic hydrogen production, carbon dioxide/nitrogen reduction, etc., and develop the preparation, modification, mass production, and device construction of new materials for industrialization and commercialization.

This symposium mainly covers new topics on fundamental (including theory) and applied quantum materials fabrication, and devices/property characterization. The symposium welcomes related topics embracing newly emerging 2D materials with new optical, electronic, spin and valley physics in graphene, TMDCs and various van der Waals semiconductors and heterostructures.

This symposium is for sharing new initiatives, strategies, recent developments, and challenges in an interdisciplinary field that incorporates the elements of physics, chemistry, and engineering to design and develop new products and enhance existing ones. The directions of activities include the implementation of materials design, advanced analytical methods for manufacturing, characterization, and processing of nanomaterials, smart materials, and biomimetic materials. This international symposium aims to provide a forum for researchers from academia and industries as an excellent opportunity to explore and share the advancements in different kinds of materials and their applications.

This section will cover design, synthesis and characterization of novel organic semiconductors, as well as their applications in several fields including organic optoelectronic devices, energy, and catalysis.
