Simulations in molecular dynamics (MD) often are carried out in an applied pressure, as for instance in case of modelling the dynamics of dislocations in materials. In analysis of results a crucial role is played by the proper understanding of underlying process of pressure penetration itself, since this is a dynamic process...

Anions and cations are ubiquitous in nature and play very important roles in many areas, such as biological research, clinical diagnosis, industries and environmental process. There recognition and monitoring are of primordial importance in biological mechanisms, medicine and environment.The design of anion receptors is...

Prof. Stefanos Papanikolaou joined "Frontiers in Physics, Condensed Matter Physics" journal as an Associate Editor. Congratulations!

M.Sc. Dipl.-Ing. Mélanie Clozel - German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Materials Physics in Space
Though much has been improved in the design of bulk metallic glasses since the 1960s, parts are still usually produced by casting, limiting their size to a few millimetres to centimetres in thickness due to falling cooling rates and increasing crystallisation when increasing casting diameter. This limitation has been the greatest impediment to the use of BMGs as structural parts and tools, despite their advantageous properties. Only recently...

Nanostructured metallic catalysts are usually obtained by homogeneous synthesis. Then one needs to apply capping agents to stop the growth of nanostructures and prevent their aggregation. Capping agents affect the catalytic properties of such prepared nanostructures by hindering access of reactants to the catalyst surface. Electrochemical methods allow...

Dr. Misaki Ozawa - Interdisciplinary Physics Lab at the University of Grenoble Alpes, France.
For a long time, physicists have determined Hamiltonian for a given problem by following a bottom-up approach starting from physical principles such as symmetry. Nowadays, thanks to a large amount of data available, it has become possible to estimate Hamiltonian by machine learning, i.e., inferring it from a large dataset of observations from experiments or simulations. The majority of physical systems...

Multiple positions at NOMATEN CoE available. We are hiring new scientists in the fields of materials science and radiopharmaceuticals at junior and mid - senior level.

NOMATEN staff participated in the NUMAT conference held in Ghent, Belgium from 24^th till 28^th October. The Nuclear Materials Conference (NuMat) was created in 2012 in association with the Journal of Nuclear Materials to serve as an umbrella for international meetings on nuclear materials science related to fission and fusion reactors and the overall nuclear fuel cycle.

Katarzyna Nowakowska-Langier, PhD, DSc - Metastable Structure of Layers Shaped During Pulse Magnetron Sputtering.
The forming the properties of materials consists in fulfilling the sequence of different energy states. First, one should obtain the state of increased free energy, as the excited initial state for subsequent treatments and then conduct controlled relaxation of this energy excess in order to reach a lower level of non-equilibrium energy state of material - defined as a new degree of structure metastability, both in phase and morphological terms. This grade determines the usable properties of the material...

The 35^th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) was held on October 15-19, 2022 in Barcelona, Spain. The EANM Congress with more than 150 Sessions is the most valuable Nuclear Medicine Meeting worldwide. Each year, nearly 7,000 participants and 180 companies use the possibility to discuss the newest trends and findings in the field of Nuclear Medicine.
