Abstract
Of the recent accomplishments of chemistry, some of the most spectacular have been in the area of materials. New miracle materials have revolutionized our lives in almost every aspect from semiconductors to metallic eyeglass frames that return to a "memorized" shape when bent. However, materials receive surprisingly little attention as examples of chemical phenomena in fundamental chemistry classes, which are still built largely on the behavior of gases and liquids. These issues were the basis for the Ninth Annual Worcester Polytechnic Institute Conference on Chemical Education. This article addresses the conference and the issues.
