Electronic materials are the basis of any device designed for modern applications in e.g. information technology or energy conversion. Investigating and perfecting the properties of materials for electronic uses is the research focus of many institutional and industrial research groups acting worldwide. A major challenge, however, is to both theoretically model and experimentally prepare these materials with sufficient quality, and to integrate them with adequate control so that these properties can be fully utilized. This publication summarizes cutting edge research presented at "Frontiers in Electronic Materials", a Nature Conference on Correlation Effects and Memristive Phenomena which took place in 2012. It comprises of contributions from leading authors in these fields who discuss breakthroughs and challenges in fundamental research as well as prospects for future applications. Topics covered: - Electron correlation and unusual quantum effects - Oxide heterostructures and interfaces - Multiferrroics, spintronics, ferroelectrics and flexoelectrics - Processing in nanotechnology - Advanced characterization techniques - Superionic conductors, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics - Chip architectures and computational concepts
