ATOMION 2026 - WORKSHOP

The Atomion workshop brings together experts from around the world to discuss new advances in different aspects of AMO and chemical-physics sciences. The discussed topics include: trapped ions, ultracold chemistry, molecular spectroscopy.

Location

The event will take place at the Port Jefferson Village Center.

Portjeff

The venue is located at the picturesque Port Jefferson Village, in the town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, on the North Shore of Long Island, New York. It is a 10-minute drive from the main campus of Stony Brook University.
