title: Structure meets function at materials gathering.
abstract: SAN FRANCISCO-Engineers, physicists, and other scientists interested in material behavior came together at the 1994 spring meeting of the Materials Research Society from 4 to 8 April. Among the 2200 papers given, researchers heard presentations on a variety of functional substances: a semiconductor suitable for a laser that gives off blue light, an improved magnetic refrigerator, and a method of keeping pollutants from forming in engine exhaust.
