ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | NOVEMBER 2026 36 Are there specific technical topics, application areas, or content needs that you believe are important to the materials engineering community and are not currently well served by ASM or the broader technical publishing landscape? Many respondents identified integrating AI into materials discovery, design, and development as the top unmet need. Other replies included friction stir welding, rechargeable batteries, tribology, and materials for nuclear fusion. “Digital representation of microstructures. How-To’s relative to modeling and simulation. Examples of materials and process model integrated holistic engineering workflows.” – David Furrer, FASM, Pratt & Whitney “New materials processing needed for AI devices. Defects and interfaces in 3D integrated circuits (ICs), and thermal management of 3D ICs.” – Jagdish “Jay” Narayan, FASM, North Carolina State University CONCLUSION The NAE members who are part of ASM’s membership serve as a valuable resource. Through this year’s survey, their insights helped shape the Technical Content Roadmap. Their comments will also guide future investments in the ASM Handbook series, journal portfolio, AM&P magazine, and digital reference content. ~AM&P Furrer Narayan Are you maximizing your ASM membership?
