Scope of LMR2026

Light-driven chemistry at nanoscale metals is an emerging, interdisciplinary research field. The scope of Light.Metal.Reactions2026 is to gather international experts with experimental and theoretical expertise ranging from nano-optics and condensed matter physics via physical chemistry and organic and inorganic chemistry.

During the four days, we want to discuss the broad field of elementary processes of light-driven reactions at nanoscale metals with topics ranging from nano material sysnthesis, light-matter coupling, and photochemistry over ultrafast dynamics & electron transfer, nanoscale heat transport and dissipation to elementary reaction mechanisms, control of reaction pathways and strong light-matter coupling.
