Prof. A. Zunger – a leader in the field of computational materials science - is visiting Harvard today to give a talk for the Harvard University Center for the Environment. Prof. Zunger holds positions at University of Colorado in Boulder and NREL. His talk is titled "The Inverse Problem in Materials Theory: Given a Target Property, Find the Structure" – clearly the CEP team will be there.

“Our” issue of J. Phys. Chem. Lett. just came out with the cover art featuring the Clean Energy Project. Our art/visualization/graphics whiz-kid Lauren Aleza Kaye did a great job on it and has earned a big ‘Thank you!’.

The current issue of J Phys Chem Lett also features an editorial by Oleg Prezhdo titled ‘A Modern Quantum Chemistry Sampler: From Algorithms for the Schrodinger Equation, to Medium Effects, to Large-Scale In Silico Molecule Design’. It gives a great summary of our paper.

Since people were interested in the details: We bought jabba02 assembled from Protocase for $5,400 and we paid for the 135TB in harddrives a bit over $5,000 (+ shipping).

cleanenergy,
As a suggestion, maybe you'd like to add the Facebook, project home page and other key links to your WCG forum signature. By using bit.ly or the like you'd be able to fit multiple in the 250 character limit (practically 245 or so). Hover on mine and the links to see how things were squeezed in. This way, you're easier to locate for any casual passer by who visits your posts. cheers --//-- P.S. Pretty amazing to pay 10K for such a storage system these days. I'm from the days we were exchanging platter sets in the drives... 20MB packs when the system had filled up... and the never ending tape real swapping to secure the endless streams of data to the Kennedies... ca 1978. Pic of something that rings a bell to some |

Here is a tip on how you can easily give CEP some additional support: Every time you ‘Like’ our research log posts on facebook (note, we are not fishing for compliments here!), these posts appear on your facebook wall and your friends can see them – which in turn may make them interested and join the project...
