NanoChemPhys Day
A research seminar day showcasing research from the Institutes of Chemistry and Physics
This seminar brings together groups from both the institutes of Chemistry and Physics whose research focusses on intermolecular interactions and the characterisation of molecules at surfaces. Such systems will be presented from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
The seminar is open to anyone who is interested in listening or joining in with discussion. Feel free to forward to the programme to others who may be interested.
