National Graphene Institute (NGI) are running a workshop ‘Twistronics of 2D Materials: from modelling to real systems’ (20-23 September, 2023 in NGI in collaboration with YoungCentre@ICL, supported by Royce Institute, IoP, Ψk network, CCP9 network).
The workshop will take place in Manchester from September 20-22, 2023. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different modelling communities and experimentalists to discuss recent advances in the field of twistronics as well as future directions.
