Dear Colleague: Please consider submitting your nanomechanics related abstract to Symposium 4-1 ("Nanomechanics: Beyond Modulus and Hardness") of the 47th Annual Technical Meeting of Society of Engineering Science, which takes place October 4-6, 2010 at Iowa State University, Ames, IA. The deadline for abstract submission is 5:00pm CST, Monday, June 7, 2010. The meeting's homepage can be found at www.ucs.iastate.edu/mnet/ses2010/home.html.

Dear Colleague:
 
You are cordially invited to attend a special Workshop on Probing the Limits of Strength, which will be held at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on August 10-12, 2009. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with an interest in experimental and theoretical studies of the fundamental limits of strength in materials. The workshop will include a strong lineup of national and international speakers on advanced mechanical testing techniques and computational materials science of materials deformation at the elastic limit.
