Potential and challenges of computing with molecular materials
Molecular materials for computing progress intensively but the performance and reliability still lag behind. Here the authors assess the current state of computing with molecular-based materials and describe two issues as the basis of a new computing technology: continued exploration of molecular electronic properties and process development for on-chip integration.

Announcements
Materials for AI, AI for Materials
Selected keynotes and invited presentations will focus on emerging materials to enable the development of AI hardware as well as the use of AI in the discovery and design of new materials. Early bird registration ends November the 8th.
Nature Conference:Competing Orders in Quantum Materials
A major issue in condensed-matter physics is the competition between ordered states with different symmetries and properties. This Nature conference will examine this from different perspectives, feature sessions on 2D materials and nickelates, discuss quantum simulation and ultrafast probes, and explore synthesis and characterisation of materials. Abstract deadline, January 24th 2025.
