Scientific disciplines are well known for their grounding in objectivity and fact-driven research practices. As a result, it is easy to assume that new educational initiatives such as ‘decolonising the curriculum’ are not relevant in our fields. This session seeks to make the case that the opposite is true. In...

Single-Molecule Junctions (SMJs) are fundamental to nanoelectronic components that use molecules as their building elements. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes a subtle interplay of physics, chemistry, materials science, and electrical engineering. This presentation broadly focuses on the computational study of symmetry-breaking effects on SMJs. The first part of...
