September 8 – Dr. Carlos L. Bassani has received an ERC Starting Grant for his project “kineticSHAPES β Kinetic Pathways to Control Nanocrystal Shapes”. The project will investigate how nanocrystal morphologies emerge under non-equilibrium conditions. By developing simulation methods that span from the atomic to the mesoscopic scale, the research aims to explain phenomena such as metastability, symmetry-breaking, and polydispersity, and to identify the conditions that govern synthesis outcomes.
