The APS March Meeting 2018 will bring together more than 10,000 physicists, scientists, and students from all over the world to share groundbreaking research from industry, universities, and major labs. 

It seems that one potentially very big physics news story has appeared: "A simple system made from two sheets of graphene has been converted from an insulator to a superconductor. The finding holds promise for opening up studies of an unconventional form of superconductivity". You can read it summarized in this News and Views commentary and this news report.  

From ICMAB, we will have four representatives giving lectures:

• New functionalities from gradient couplings: Flexoelectricity and more
  Invited lecture by Dr. Massimiliano Stengel, ICREA Research Professor at the Theory and Simulation group, Monday, March 5, 2018, 2:30 PM–3:06 PM

• Macroscopic polarization in ferroelastic SrTiO3 via gradient-mediated couplings
  Oral contributuion by Andrea Schiaffino, PhD researcher at the Theory and Simulation group, Monday, March 5, 2018, 5:06 PM–5:18 PM

• In-situ imaging of electric field-induced ferroelastic domain motion in SrTiO₃
  Oral contribution by Dr. Gervasi Herranz, Tenured Scientist at the MULFOX group. Wednesday, March 7, 2018, 11:51 AM–12:03 PM

• Direct imaging of delayed magneto dynamic modes induced by surface acoustic waves
  Invited Lecture by Dr. Ferran Macià, Ramon y Cajal Researcher at the MULFOX group. Thursday, March 8, 2018, 3:06 PM–3:42 PM

 And one poster presentation:

• Direct observation of multivalent states and 4 f → 3d charge transfer in Ce-doped yttrium iron garnet thin films
  Poster by Dr. Gervasi Herranz et al, from the MULFOX group, Tuesday, March 6, 2018, 2:00 PM
