SUMMARY:2026 Gordon Research Conference on Structures\, Energetics and Reaction Dynamics of Gaseous Ions: Characterizing Small and Large Ions Using Experiment and Theory
DESCRIPTION:Conference Description\nThe Structures\, Energetics and Reaction Dynamics of Gaseous Ions GRC is a premier\, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research\, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide\, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities\, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks\, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages\, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field. \nGaseous ions play a pivotal role in various environments\, serving as crucial intermediates in processes ranging from atmospheric chemistry to astrophysical phenomena to industrial processing and forensics. In planetary atmospheres\, ions contribute to chemical reactions that influence weather patterns\, auroras\, and even the formation of atmospheric layers. In the interstellar medium\, they are central to the formation of complex molecules and the ionization of interstellar gases\, thereby affecting star formation and the evolution of galaxies. In combustion\, gaseous ions participate in the complex chemistry of flames\, impacting energy release and pollutant formation. Beyond these natural contexts\, gaseous ions are vital in mass spectrometry\, a key enabling technology that underpins numerous scientific fields. Mass spectrometry allows for the precise analysis of substances by ionizing molecules and measuring their mass-to-charge ratios. This technique is indispensable in proteomics for identifying proteins\, in metabolomics for studying biochemical pathways\, in environmental science for detecting pollutants\, and in the emerging field of personalized medicine. In forensics\, mass spectrometry is used for drug detection and crime scene analysis\, while in pharmaceuticals\, it is employed for drug development and quality control. The ability to generate and analyze gaseous ions has revolutionized these areas\, providing insights that are critical for research\, industry\, and beyond. \nThis GRC focuses on the fundamentals of gas-phase ion chemistry and applications in which gas-phase ion chemistry and physics play a pivotal role. The meeting emphasizes the development of new and the use of more mature experimental and theoretical approaches for studying the structures\, energetics\, and reactivity of gaseous ions and their applications to systems ranging from atomic ions to complex macro- and bio-molecular assemblies. The conference highlights experimental techniques\, including mass spectrometry\, optical spectroscopy\, and ion mobility that enable elucidation of the intrinsic properties of both simple and complex systems. The conference includes the development of new theoretical techniques as well as the use of well-developed computational approaches in support of experimental measurements. Topics included are structural characterization of gaseous ions; fundamentals of ionization\, activation\, and dissociation; ion-molecule\, ion-ion\, ion-electron\, and ion-surface interactions; ion reactivity in various environments; and a multitude of applications involving ions. \nApplication Information\nApplications for this meeting must be submitted by January 25\, 2026. Please apply early\, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed\, it will be stated here. Note: Applications for oversubscribed meetings will only be considered by the conference chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.

SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Laser processing of functional micro/nanostructures for photonics\, optoelectronics\, and smart surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Maria Kandyla (National Hellenic Research Foundation)  \nThe need for advanced materials and systems with new functionalities has motivated the development of micro/nanostructures on solid surfaces\, which are necessary for the fabrication of functional devices for novel applications. In this talk\, we will discuss the development of functional micro/nanostructures\, based on laser-processed surfaces. \nCoating micro/nanostructures with thin metallic films results in plasmonic substrates with enhanced electromagnetic response across the entire visible range\, which are used for plasmonic optical trapping [1]. Combining silicon micro/nanostructures with thin semiconducting films results in electronic heterojunctions with increased surface area for improved optoelectronic performance [2]. Furthermore\, isotype heterojunctions result in wavelength-selective\, high-speed photodetectors with self-powered operation\, which can be further engineered by careful selection of the electronic properties of the constituting materials [3\,4]. “Smart” surfaces of controllable extreme wetting states are obtained by combining photoresponsive metal oxides with laser-processed micro/nanostructured substrates\, which can reach complete water repellence without chemical modification [5]. Also\, surfaces with controlled topography\, either at the micro- or at the nano-scale\, for targeted cell cultures for biomedical applications [6]. We will present recent advances in these fields and discuss future applications. \nReferences \n\n	 \nD.G. Kotsifaki\, M. Kandyla\, and P.G.
