Self-Assembly of Biopolymers – FD166

Self-Assembly of Biopolymers: Faraday Discussion 166
16 – 18 September 2013, University of Bristol, UK

This is a busy time of year for you – and also for us! But we plan to have the review of abstract submissions completed in January. You may have given up on the idea of submitting because of lack of time, so we thought it only fair to give you some extra in view of this busy period and the forthcoming holiday.

Get your oral presentation abstract to us when we resume normal working in January and you will be in with a chance of being part of a high profile forum for this exciting new field.

Remember that it’s a great way to get your own research better known. Faraday Discussions have a unique format – papers are circulated in advance, and all discussion contributions, including any slides presented by delegates, are recorded for publication in a future Faraday Discussion volume.

Submit your oral abstract for FD166 as soon as you can.

FD163: Photo-initiated Quantum Molecular Dynamics – call for oral abstracts

Photo-initiated Quantum Molecular Dynamics: Faraday Discussion 163 15-17 April 2013, University of Nottingham UK

*Deadline for Oral Abstracts: 17 August 2012*

Submit now to events@rsc.org

Photochemistry and molecular photophysics have been highly active fields of research for more than half a century; however, during the last two decades synergistic advances in experimental technology and computational methodology have led to a renewed interest in understanding photochemistry and photophysics at the quantum level – photo-initiated quantum molecular dynamics. One of the grand challenges for the 21st century is to develop such a detailed understanding of energy flow in molecules, following the absorption of a photon, that we can begin to develop the knowledge and tools to control photochemistry. Photo-initiated Quantum Molecular Dynamics: Faraday Discussion 163 will involve spectroscopy and dynamics, experiment and theory, with themes including:

  • Single molecules: photochemistry and photophysics in isolated molecular systems
  • Extended systems: photochemistry and photophysics of chromophores in proteins, solution or clusters
  • Controlling molecular dynamics: controlling photochemistry using sequences of light pulses, shaped light pulses or bond selection prior to photoexcitation
  • Applications of molecular dynamics to global challenges: photovoltaic cells, photodynamic therapy, imaging.

Confirmed invited speakers:

  • Professor Albert Stolow (Introductory), National Research Council, Canada
  • Professor Graham Fleming (Closing), University of California – Berkeley, USA
  • Professor Phil Bucksbaum, Stanford University, USA
  • Professor Joachim Burgdörfer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
  • Professor Wolfgang Domcke, Technische Universitat Munchen,  Germany
  • Professor Bob Field (Robert W Field), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
  • Professor Dr Jennifer Herek, Twente, Netherlands
  • Professor Dr Eberhard Riedle, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany
  • Professor Ursula Rothlisberger, EPFL, Switzerland
  • Professor  Greg Scholes, University of Toronto, Canada

Faraday Discussions are a long-established series of meetings which provide a unique international platform for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The Discussion is a dynamic forum for developing and exchanging exciting new ideas, and both the papers and discussion will be published in a final printed volume. The latest Impact Factor is 5.0.

We invite you to submit an abstract for an oral presentation by the 17th August to events@rsc.org adding ‘FD163 abstract’ in the subject line. We hope to see you at this exciting Faraday Discussion meeting next year.

Faraday Discussions is a sister journal to Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP). PCCP brings you content of the highest quality in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. With high-impact research, and a truly international readership, PCCP is the ideal place to publish. We invite you to submit your research to PCCP today.
