The conference excelled through outstanding talks and dynamic exchanges.
CSI 2024 brought together national and international specialists in the field of cluster-surface interactions. In the beautiful town of Bernried, 50 scientists came together for three days of presentations of cutting-edge research, scientific discussions, and exchange of ideas. A long-standing series of topical international conferences, this year’s focus was on cluster-surface interactions for energy applications with sessions on:
- Energy conversion and storage
- Exotic fundamental properties of clusters
- Thermal catalysis on clusters
- Dynamics of clusters
