    Abstract : Multiscale modelling approaches, connecting data from electronic structure calculations all the way towards engineering continuum models, have become an important ingredient in modern materials science. Materials modelling in a broader sense is already amply used to address complex chemical problems in academic science, but also in many industrial sectors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Ghost in the shell : Studies on subsurface oxygen in oxide-derived copper nanocube catalysts

    Author : Liu Chang; Lars Pettersson; Anders Nilsson; Tore Brinck; Stockholms universitet; []
