Virtual International Seminar on Theoretical Advancements (VISTA)

Recurring The seminar features presentations by researchers at various levels (from undergraduate students to faculty and scientists) on theory and computations for nonequilibrium dynamics of excited states and quantum dynamics, broadly defined. Of special interest to this seminar are new developments in quantum and nonadiabatic dynamics, trajectory-based and surface hopping approaches, semiclassical and quantum-classical methodologies, new software and tools for nonadiabatic and quantum dynamics, as well as the applications of these cutting-edge techniques to a variety of complex systems and materials, such as solar energy harvesting and photoresponsive materials. The experimental works that require the attention of and can benefit from theoretical investigations are also of interest. https://quantum-dynamics-hub.github.io/VISTA/
Internet nanoGe Conference on Nanocrystals 28th of June to the 2nd of July 2021 You are invited to participate in the Online Internet NanoGe Conference on Nanocrystals (iNCNC), from the 28th of June to the 2nd of July 2021. This conference will take place online.

The iNCNC is an online conference with the aim to bring together scientists of different research disciplines active in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, with a focus on colloidal nanocrystals.

During the last 20 years, researchers have produced NCs with compositions spanning the periodic table. Advances in synthetic methods have allowed precise control of shape and size for single-component NCs, as well as heterostructured ones with a topologically defined distribution of their composition. This refined control translates into unique properties that can be exploited in many different applications, including electronics, photonics, plasmonics, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, and biology and healthcare. The iNCNC will provide a platform for the leading scientist in these vanguard areas to share and discuss their latest results.
