Fatima Baterdouk (University of Toulouse - France) visited FELIX laboratory (Netherlands) with a COST NanoSpace STSM to explore the interaction between water and 1-hydroxypyrene in an astrophysical context, recording the IR spectrum of 1-hydroxypyrene tagged with water at 218 K

Dear members of our COST NanoSpace COST the University of Eastern Finland is advertising a position of Senior Researcher in Computational Microscopy. uef.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo… Also you can contact Professor Polina Kuzhir, tel. +358 29 445 3211, [email protected]

Dear COST NanoSpace COST members and participants of the 3rd NanoSpace Joint Scientific Meeting. The final program of the meeting is already available in the meeting website at: nanospace.ktu.edu/#Program Invited talks and contributed talks will be 25+5 and 12+3 minutes

In the first day of our COST COST NanoSpace 3rd Joint Meeting we have very interesting talks about nanocarbon species, with the specially attendance of Ewine van Dischoeck giving a very inspiring talk. We even have time for a very nice photo group.

Second day of this 3rd Joint Meeting COST NanoSpace COST was also very interesting with subjects covering astrocatalysis, reaction mechanisms towards prebiotic molecules, latter insights about cyano-PAHs detections as well as dust grains and cosmic radiation simulation

Yesterday was our last day of our COST NanoSpace COST 3rd Joint Scientific Meeting, we highlight the results from the Database Strategy Group (DSG) and the Outreach/Dissemination plans; well playing around also

Dear COST NanoSpace COST members, Just a reminder that the deadline for registration to the “COST NanoSpace AI in Astrochemistry Training School” is in 30th May 2025. All detailed information can be found on the school’s website at: ocamm.fi/event/cost-nan…

Thanks to COST COST NanoSpace YRI Conference Grant, Piero Ferrari from HFML-FELIX (Netherlands) recently participated at the DEAMN2025 conference Erice/Italy talking about the role of laboratory gas-phase infrared spectroscopy in the identification of molecules in space

A new amazing NanoSpace video about the experience of a young researcher during a Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) at FELIX Laboratory (Netherlands) is available in the NanoSpace website and YouTube channel. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=t9pH7x…

Thanks to a COST COST NanoSpace STSM, Sergio Mato from the University of Valladolid (Spain) conducted experiments at the FELIX laboratory (Netherlands) to investigate the fragmentation of the fluoranthene cation, recording the IR spectra of the parent ion.

The WG3 co-leader Boutheina Kerkeni (Tunisia) participated in the “Astrochemistry in the JWST Era” workshop in Saint-Florent (France) thanks to COST NanoSpace ITC CG program. She shared new theoretical insights into sulfur-bearing molecule formation via CN/CCH + CH2S reactions

Abdülkadir Sezai Sarac from the Istanbul Technical University (Turkey) visited the University of Vienna (Austria) for the characterization of electrospun nanofiber composites for advanced applications that could contribute to address critical challenges for future space missions.

Dilara Ickecan (Ticaret University, Turkey) participated in the Carbon2025 conference with the support of the COST COST NanoSpace YRI CG program, giving a talk entitled “Local environments and phonon spectra in twisted bilayer graphene: a machine-learning perspective”

During this COST NanoSpace STSM at LIRA (France), Alexey Potapov (University of Jena, Germany) and the LIRA host team studied the formation of molecular hydrogen on the surface of analogues of carbonaceous cosmic dust at temperatures relevant to various astrophysical environments

Yesterday was the first session of our COST NanoSpace AI in Astrochemistry Training School. Mainly we cover some fundaments about Neural Networks (NN) and Machine Learning potentials (ML). In the afternoon the Hands-on-sessions was about NN applied to astronomical objects.

Second day of COST NanoSpace AI in Astrochemistry Training School was about Gaussian Regression and Machine Learning architecture. Hands-on-session focused in these subjects with concrete examples of Gaussian Regression exercises using Jupyter notebook interface.

In the third day of COST NanoSpace AI in Astrochemistry Training School we were able to get more insight in the design of ML potentials and Neural Networks. Especially, ML applied to real Interferometry observations, and also some time for our social dinner.

Last day of our COST NanoSpace AI in Astrochemistry Training School was more focus on the final hands-on-sessions and also on AI tools applied to crystal structures prediction. Thanks a lot to the LOC of the Aalto University as well to the COST funding support.

In this COST NanoSpace COST STSM, Sergiy Krasnokutskiy (Friedrich-schiller-universitat Jena, Germany) together with the Ko-Ju Chuang research group (Leiden University, Netherlands) found the significant role of extraterrestrial peptides in the origin of life on planets
