Alec Wodtke from the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences delivering his colloquium talk about "Bridging the Pressure Gap in Heterogeneous Catalysis":

Right now, our project members enjoy a retreat at Steinschaler Dörfl, Lower Austria, and have intense scientific exchanges during talks and poster sessions. The happy faces in the workshop photo prove that the meeting is very fruitful!

Greetings from the Psi-k conference! Several TACO researchers, such as Ralf Wanzenböck, Eva Doloszeski, Georg Madsen, and Georg Kresse, are currently attending the Psi-k conference, the world's largest conference in electronic-structure, at EPFL in Switzerland. Have a successful meeting!

Congratulations to TACO PhD student Alexander Imre for this big success! He was awarded the ICSOS Young Scientist Prize at last week's ECSCD/ICSOS Conference for convincing the jury with his talk entitled “ViPErLEED and Parameter-Tree-Based Tensor LEED”. 🥳👏

Following the ECSCD/ICSOS Conference this week, our TACO project hosts a LEED-I(V) Workshop that convenes the LEED community and presents applications of the ViPErLEED package, developed by our group. Today, the participants do structure calculations in hands-on labs with the @vscluster.bsky.social.

1/2 This week, @tuwien.at hosts the ECSCD/ICSOS* conference, where the newest developments in surface structure, crystallography, and dynamics are presented. Here, Lutz Hammer (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) presents "Today's Possibilities, Demands, and Limitations of LEED Structure Determination".
