<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Neutron scattering is a powerful and indispensible tool for the study
of advanced materials. Because of the unique properties of neutrons, neutron
scattering studies often yield unique insights into the structure and dynamics
of the materials that are not accessible by other means. This symposium will
explore some of the new research opportunities that are emerging with the
commissioning of the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, and the upgrades of existing instruments at other facilities. For
example, time-resolved studies will be possible to examine structure evolution
in realistic time scales. New techniques, such as high-resolution real-space
imaging, are also developing. This symposium will bring together researchers
from neutron scattering and materials communities to address current problems
in materials science and engineering. Specific topics will include, but not
limited to,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
