Experts from around the world gathered at the University of Wollongong to discuss the latest developments and future directions of materials science, chemistry and physics at the 2019 International Symposium on Future Materials.
The event on Thursday and Friday was hosted by UOW’s Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM).
The international materials science community used the gathering as an opportunity to celebrate ISEM’s 25th anniversary.
The event included presentations on a diverse range of topics including: functional materials; energy materials; superconducting materials; emergent materials physics and chemistry; electronic and optical materials; biomaterials; nanomaterials; interface science; and simulation and modelling.
Symposium highlights included a talk by Professor Qikun Xue, vice president for research at Tsinghua University.
Professor Xue is an internationally renowned condensed matter physicist, known for his breakthrough research on topological insulators and superconducting materials.
In its 25 years, ISEM has made an impressive contribution to UOW’s research output, and has built a collaborative network of more than 100 research institutions around the world.
At the same time, ISEM has placed great importance on working with industry to translate that research into commercial products.

Wollongong born and bred. I love reporting about the Illawarra region and have been doing it for more than 20 years. I've moved into sport recently after covering the education round for the last five plus years for the Illawarra Mercury. It's been a great pleasure.
