is the second largest population city in the Tokyo
Metropolitan area. It is famous for the beautiful bay
scenery, the largest china town in Japan, and so on. It
also has a long history since the Kamakura era in thelate 11th century and is close to the historical place
Kamakura. It is located approx. 30 km south of central
Tokyo, taking approx. 50 minutes from Tokyo station bytrain.

STAC-14:

Cutting edge of ceramic research is rapidly
expanding and advancing, being far beyond thetraditional scope of ceramics. The primary driving
forces for such advanced researches are society’s needs
such as to realize safe society as well as researchers’
desire of “want to create a dream material.” The mainmaterials of ceramics are oxides which are the main
constituents of the earth’s crust. They are abundant andbenign for environment, and have many uniqueproperties, which are not seen in conventional
semiconductors and in organic materials. We believe
new properties further remain untapped as exemplified
by the discovery of high-Tc superconductors.
The Laboratory for Materials and Structures (MSL,formerly The Materials and Structures Laboratory) ofTokyo Institute of Technology is a center of excellencein ceramics research in Japan and has made major
contribution to cultivating new frontiers in ceramicresearch. Ceramic researches have been contributing totrue nano-technology through appropriate fusion of theneighboring disciplines. We, thus, launched thisinternational conference as a new forum to stimulate
the interaction among different disciplines through thediscussion on high-level research outputs.
The first conference was held in 2006 in Shonan,
Japan, organized by MSL. After then, MSL, Divisionof Ceramics Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology
and National Institute for Materials Science haveorganized the series of STAC conferences. This is thefourteenth conference, and will be accompanied by
special sessions of ‘MDX Special Session: Materials
DX’.
The program will feature approximately 30 invited
talks, contributed oral and poster presentations, and abanquet. Anybody interested in the following areas is
welcome to participate.

ABSTRACT (Submission deadline: Aug 2, 2024).
Abstracts will form the basis for selecting papers
for presentation at the conference. Each abstract muststate clearly the purpose and specific results of thework. Lack of such descriptions may cause rejection ofa paper. Instructions for abstract preparation andsubmission is provided on our web page. All abstracts
will be reviewed by the members of the Program
Committee on the basis of scientific and technicalnovelty and importance. Acceptance of the papers will
be informed by e-mail with the decision of presentationstyle. A few papers may be selected for special invited
talks.
