Curious how curvature-driven methods stack up when pushed out of their comfort zone! We tested them in scenarios where they shouldn’t work. It’s still Landau-Zener surface hopping that wins. #CompChem @ACSPublications @VSCHT pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We're offering a PhD position in our lab as part of the MSCA Lumiere network. Focus: Modeling time-resolved photoemission in liquid phase, X-ray spectroscopies, and photodynamics. Learn more and apply here: euraxess.cz/jobs/310398 #PhD #ResearchOpportunity #CompChem

Blame the potentials! Different electronic structure methods skew predictions for stilbene photoisomerization. A thrifty bias-driven sensitivity analysis uncover the issue. Read more here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… #ComputationalChemistry #Photodynamics @VSCHT @JCIM_JCTC

@spiwokv The characteristic equations were used in astronomy for phenomena like secular variations.

@PhotoxGroup What is the origin of word secular in QM?

Petr Slavíček delves into secular equations in chemistry, while Mustafa Kemal Atatürk envisions a secular future for Turkey. Both achieved only partial success in their pursuits.

Some like it short: cyanine truncation with homogeneous catalysis. Our story: highly correlated ab initio methods should be used for such reactions. Nice collaboration with the group of Petr Klán. #Cyanines #catalysis #quantumchemistry @J_A_C_S @VSCHT pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@MarioBarbatti I might choose different 15 minutes of attention in 40 minutes talk than you.

We learned from YouTube that people don't pay attention to anyone speaking for more than 15 minutes. Conference slots shouldn't be longer than 20 minutes, regardless of the speaker's seniority.

Can Intermolecular Coulombic Decay become a new method for liquid phase spectroscopy? We believe it can! Exciting collaboration with Bernd Winter at @fhi_mpg_de and @BradforthGroup. #Photoemission #ATP #Biochemistry @J_A_C_S @VSCHT pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Thrilled to welcome Ben Levine from Stony Brook University to our group! We've accomplished a lot together—real, impactful work. #photodynamics @vschtpraha @SBUChemistry @IACSComputes

How predictive is computational photodynamics? 15 research teams tried their best to predict ultrafast electron diffraction experiment. Our contribution with @insilicophotochem just went out. #predictionchallenge #photodynamnics pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl…

Congratulations to Dr. Lukáš Tomaník, the 2023 laureate of Zdenek Herman prize for best dissertation in chemical physics!

Nuclear quantum effects are mediating photocatalytic reactions – that was our small contribution great work by @PetrBeier Proud to be part of the story. @IOCB @VSCHT Praha @angew_chem @Slanina_Group

Working with @Slanina_Groupforced us to (finally) understand spin-orbit couplings in organic chromophores. Or at least to attempt. Thanks. Read more: …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… #photochemistry #BODIPY @ChemEurJ @VSCHT @IOCB

Will liquid jet photoemission spectroscopy become a new tool for revealing biomolecular structures? We believe so. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #biomolecuels #photoemission #liquids @VSCHT @DESY @fhi_mpg_de @JPhysChem

It's the electronic structure that matters. In a new paper, we discuss the present-day practice in photodynamics. #photodynamics #compchem @VSCHT What Controls the Quality of Photodynamical Simulations? Electronic Structure Versus Nonadiabatic Algorithm pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Some time ago, I looked at popularity of time units as measured by Google ngram. Attoseconds have never beaten even picoseconds. That might change today. #attoscience #nobelprize
