Mini Symposium on Magnetism and Applications on 21st of January  from 2pm to 5pm (CET). Organized by the H2020 project MAMI. Do not miss it!

Do you want to know more about the impact and importance of the discovery that has won the Nobel prize of Physics? The Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 was divided, one half awarded to Roger Penrose "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity", the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez "for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy." Francisco Frutos Alfaro Director of the Space Research Center at the University of Costa Rica will explain us some of the effects predicted by the general the

Progress and Prospects for thin film photovoltaic technology Thin film solar cells are competitive PV technology as their thickness are over 10 times lower than conventional solar cells, while they can efficiently convert solar energy into electricity. Low materials usage will enabling material cost reduction, ease of processing and reduction in defects. Current challenges will be addressed for the fabrication of thin film solar cells, quality of absorber layers and nanoscale engineering  to ensure efficient charge collection.

Hierarchical Framework Materials for CO2 capture.  Nagore Barroso Hierarchical organization is a basic principle found in many systems. The human body, in fact, is a classic example of hierarchical organization. At the lowest level, simple molecular building blocks, such as amino acids or lipids, create 3D biomolecular machines able to perform complex tasks. These molecular components are then organized into subcellular and cellular compartments or domains.

Academic-scientific cooperation is strategic to link researchers, professors, professionals, students, with of purpose of making effective transference and exchange of knowledge and creative ideas, the perform basic and applied research, the technology development, and innovation in different areas of the knowledge by mean of, research stays, research project, write and divulgation of documents, and any mechanism that carries out the strengthening of the academy and the research of the participant institutions.

Modeling of Nanomaterials at Atomistic and Coarse-Grained Level and Their Molecular Dynamics Simulation One-Sun Lee, Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute, Doha, Qatar Computational model development becomes essential for studying materials. For efficient model development, the technical details of modeling vary according to the size and time scales of the system. A brief description of the procedures of atomistic and coarse-grained model development and their molecular dynamics simulation will be presented.

Meenakshi Pegu´s seminar: Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved an impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.2% so far. We need to understand the paramount importance of the working mechanism of the device which is govern by various physical and chemical processes that is undergoing to improve not only the PCE, but also the long term stability. Hence, the interface engineering between the perovskite layer and charge transfer layer are among the important facets in determining the photovoltaic performances and long term stability.
