Faraday Discussions Blog

There’s still just time to submit your poster abstract for Soft Matter Approaches to Structured Foods: Faraday Discussion 158 by the deadline date of 25 May.

Food materials are unusual as soft matter. They are highly complex, operating on multiple length scales and phases and structured via multiple externally applied fields.

Taking part in a Faraday Discussion is a great way to get your research work better known. To have your own poster space at the meeting submit yours now.

So join this discussion with top experts in the field and make sure you register now, or you will miss out on the early bird discount – £50 saving on the standard fee.

Registration is quick and simple via our online booking system, so act today to be able to exchange views with food scientists and non-food experts from the soft matter community.

Dr Ruud van der Sman and the rest of the Scientific Committee look forward to welcoming you to Wageningen in July 2012

There’s still just time to register for Molecular Reaction Dynamics in Gases, Liquids and Interfaces : FD157 – by the deadline date of 25 May.

Remember that taking part in a Faraday Discussion is a great way to get your own research work better known.

Act today to ensure your place at this exciting discussion, which aims to bring together both experimentalists and theorists in reaction dynamics.

Professor Piergiorgio Casavecchia and the rest of the Scientific Committee look forward to welcoming you to Assisi next month.

There is still just time to submit your poster abstract to Crystallisation – A Biological Perspective: Faraday Discussion 159 but don’t delay. Deadline: 25 May 2012

Act today to take advantage of:

• Early bird discount – £50 saving on the standard fee – register now

abstract

Recent studies on crystal nucleation have found evidence of pre-nucleation clusters, a controversial result which apparently contradicts classical nucleation theory. Taking part in a Faraday Discussion can help to get your own research in the field better known.

The Scientific Committee look forward to welcoming you to Leeds in July 2012.

Professor Piergiorgio Casavecchia, Chairman, and the rest of the Scientific Committee look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues to Assisi in June 2012.

Faraday Discussion 154: Ionic Liquids has now been published online.

Take a look at this exciting volume which covers the following themes:

• Thermodynamics and phase behavior of ionic fluids
• Microscopic and mesoscopic structure: experiments and simulations
• Transport and relaxation in ionic liquids
• Chemical reactivity and interfacial behavior

In the volume you can find all the papers and exciting discussion from the conference held in Belfast, UK, in August. These are just some of the highlights:
