this is a great find - I owe my physics engineering students precisely this kind of intro to Legendre transforms

weren't we all supposed to get one at the ETSF social dinner Thursday? Did I not get drunk with the right people? Post some more conference pics Michiel van Setten !

Thiomargarita magnifica sounds more like a pretentious cocktail for the Summer of 2022. Please answer below with your proposed recipe! Suggestion: egg yolk will have the sulfur to deserve the thio prefix. nytimes.com/2022/06/23/sci…

Heeere we go! Psi-k2022 #lausanne EPFL Psi-k Zeila Zanolli ULiège Research & Innovation #trains Nicola Marzari

At #psik2022 a little bit of #Intersect: Linda-Sheila Medondjio presents a poster on “Structural models of amorphous GexSe1-x from first principles and classical force fields” from a collaboration among Catalan Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology CNR Istituto Nanoscienze icmabCSIC. Psi-k

#NationalCoffeeDay Grab your first cup of #coffee (or 2nd, or 3rd) & check out this inforgraphic from Reactions that explains the #chemistry behind why coffee is so good. #Science #CoffeeDay

Now how to explain this to the kids... youtube.com/shorts/AlSB7PC…

Help us spread the word about this initiative and find those who can endorse our Manifesto to support early-career researchers in Europe. Otherwise we may really face a lost generation of scientists!

Very important ground work by Miguel Marques Universität Halle (inaktiv) and Susi Lehtola in The Journal of Chemical Physics. Many recent exchange correlation functionals have crappy numerical convergence, even for fixed point atomic calculations. We have been warned! aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.106…

gnam, I'll be right there...

Is anyone still in here?

Play spot the Irishman! Conor Hogan #howdi2023

And we're off! #Amsterdam informal ETSF workshop until Wednesday. Thanks Irene Aguilera and Christoph Friedrich

First phonons out (I would like to see more to me sure). Based on these phonons the crystal structure seems not stable to me, especially in context of the synthesis conditions. I would be extremely cautious about any predictions based on this crystal structure.

Importing the mode-coupling theory from liquids to crystals enabled us to construct an exact, fully anharmonic theory of lattice dynamics, which works for both classical and quantum systems aippub.org/3vk3hmJ

After R&D funding cuts in 2023, seems the new NL government also needs reminding of why their economy is doing so well. It's the XXIst century - funding scientific research is a no-brainer. This letter from heads of industry drives the point home (again) news.pressmailings.com/hollandhightec…
