pymatgen: 15 years of community growth, new functionality, and future prospects

Posted by klaurent Berkeley, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin Persson | Summary:We present a retrospective on the Python Materials Genomics (pymatgen) library, reflecting on 15 years of community growth and established best practices. The current version of pymatgen builds on its robust, open-source foundation, emphasising its collaborative nature. Over the past decade, pymatgen has thrived as one of the largest open-source […]

Laboratory Characterization of a Ge-CCD Prototype for Future Near-Infrared Astronomical Instrumentation

Posted by klaurent Stanford, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | Summary:Germanium charge-coupled devices (Ge-CCDs) extend CCD imaging beyond the silicon cutoff and are candidate detectors for the near-infrared channel of future astronomical instruments, in particular the spectrographs of next-generation wide-field surveys. We report the laboratory characterization at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) of a prototype fabricated at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. We […]
