Users Group Meeting 2008
Secluded in the New Mexican mountains, Taos hosted a high level meeting in every respect: an elevation of 7000 ft / 2100 m and presentations on topic on the forefront of research:
Novel methods for Molecular Dynamics (accelaration) and implications for transition state search, the upcoming VASP 5 and its new functionals, and surface reactions (where physics and chemistry meet).
