Faraday Discussion 162 – a great success

18 Apr 2013

We have some photos to share with you from the Faraday Discussion last week on the fabrication, structure and reactivity of structured nanoparticles in Berlin, Germany.

Take a look at our upcoming Faraday Discussions here…there are many exciting and diverse discussion topics coming up!

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.

HOT article on surface interactions of gold to be discussed at FD162 – Register to join us

18 Dec 2012

Japanese scientists have reported their work on the interactions of gold species on titania in a Faraday Discussions Accepted Manuscript. They found that the Au-anion interaction is mainly responsible for stabilising Au atoms on a thiol modified titania surface, while only Au₅₅ clusters were found on a bare titania surface.

This is important in developing an understanding of how such systems behave during catalytic reactions, and suggests that surface modification may be a useful method for controlling the Au species on titania.

This paper will be among those discussed at the upcoming Faraday Discussion 162: Fabrication, Structure and Reactivity of Anchored Nanoparticles in Berlin.

Registration for this exciting is event is now open.

All delegates will have the opportunity to present their views on the Discussion papers and their own new research. All the presented papers and the discussion will be published together in the Faraday Discussion volume. The latest Impact Factor is 5.0.

Register today to attend Faraday Discussion 162: Fabrication, Structure and Reactivity of Anchored Nanoparticles.

Read this hot discussion paper in full:

Preparation and structure of a single Au atom on the TiO₂(110) surface: Control of the Au-metal oxide surface interaction

Self-Assembly of Biopolymers – FD166

13 Dec 2012

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.
