2^nd KAIST Emerging Materials e-Symposium took place from 2021 Nov. 16 to 18 on-line (Zoom, Youtube). The symposium came to a successful end with 9000 attenders.

24 scholars leading materials science, nano-bio, energy, chemisty, and applied physics participated 7 sessions and each session offered a space for masters and students to share idea about latest science technology and development/application of cutting-edge material.

Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham (Binghamton), Nobel Prize Laureate, gave a keynote speech about transport technology (ex. electric vehicles requiring lithium-ion batteries) related to issues and future of climate change.

Paul S. Weiss, editor of a global nanoscience journal ACS Nano, and 11 vice editors shared trends in recent papers and spotlighted research topics/fields, and shared curiosity of students in real time.

Kwang-Hyung Lee, president of the KAIST, encouraged successful hosting of the event and it contributed greatly to the promotion of KAIST and Material Science Engineering.
