Title: Antiferromagnetic Spintronics: Spintronics without magnetic fields

TSVP Talk Language: English (no interpretation). Target audience: General audience / everyone at OIST and beyond. Freely accessible to all OIST members and guests without registration (also via Zoom).

Title: "On-Surface Synthesis: What Happens Behind the Scenes?"

Speaker: Dr. Marco Di Giovannantonio is responsible of the ESCA laboratory at CNR-ISM (https://www.ism.cnr.it/en/esca.html). He uses a multidisciplinary approach to synthesize and characterize novel low-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials, and optimize their growth conditions and final properties to employ them in catalysis and organic electronics. (Areas of interest: Nanotechnology, surface science, catalysis, on-surface chemical reactions, organic molecules on surfaces, metal-organic networks, graphene-like nanostructures, graphene nanoribbons, open-shell molecular systems.)

The Community Cooking Series aims to bring the OIST community and residents of Onna closer through a shared love of food. Each session will be focused on one dish, taught by someone with a personal connection to the recipe (perhaps you?).

Prof Tim Taminiau from QuTech in Delft, Netherlands, is an experimentalists who studies the use of defects in diamond continaing electron and nuclear spins for quantum technology. In this talk he will discuss recent progress in controlling such electron-nuclear spin systems for quantum networks and for distributed quantum computations and simulations.

"TSVP Teatime": informal discussions and getting to know each other

Discussion of progress and roadmap for founding an OIST natural history collection.

In this meeting, we will present information about the new Environmental Science and Informatics section in RSD and ask for feedback from users or potential users of our services. In the interests of keeping the meeting manageable we would prefer to have one representative per unit.
