TACO: Taming Complexity in Materials Modeling

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!

Bridging the Pressure Gap in Heterogeneous Catalysis - SFB TACO The 33rd TACO Colloquium given by Alec M. Wodtke from the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany.

Invitation to our next TACO Colloquium on Oct 6: Alec Wodtke will be "Bridging the Pressure Gap in Heterogeneous #Catalysis" in his talk at the Faculty of Chemistry at @univie.ac.at. All details, including credentials for remote participation, are on our project website:

Enjoy! 😊

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!

Olga was a guest professor at @tuwien.at in the past semester and was invited to give a colloquium talk by TACO PI Karin Föttinger, who works at @chemistry-tuw.bsky.social.

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”. 🥳👏

Details of the workshop can be found on our website:
www.tuwien.at/en/index.php...

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.

2/2 The complete program and Book of Abstracts of the conference can be found at www.tuwien.at/en/phy/iap/c...

* ECSCD stands for "European Conference on Surface Crystallography and Dynamics" and ICSOS for "International Conference on the Structure of Surfaces".

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".

This is the account of the collaborative project TACO, hosted by @tuwien.at and @univie.ac.at, and funded by @fwf-at.bsky.social. TACO does surface science on the atomic scale and focuses on complex oxides. It combines 4 theoretical PIs & 5 experimentalist PIs. Here, we feature project updates.

Good discussions about ice nucleation at our Feldspar Day in Vienna (with strong participation from @taco-oxides.bsky.social)

Thank you! What about the Madsen group?

Hello world! Hello @chhdellago.bsky.social, hello @cesarefranchini.bsky.social! Are there more TACO scientists on bluesky?
