Dear Researchers,
We are pleased to announce the 1st International Online Conference on Atoms (IOCAT 2026). The conference is organized by the MDPI open access journal Atoms (ISSN: 2218-2004; Impact Factor: 1.7) and will be held online from 29 to 30 January 2026.
The IOCAT 2026 invites researchers from academia to contribute their original findings, novel ideas, scientific concepts, and latest research in different fields. This represents an excellent opportunity for atomic physics researchers from all over the world to interact with their colleagues, sharing their recent results and exchanging perspectives on experimental and theoretical methods used in the field, as well as highlighting the applications of atomic data in other scientific disciplines.
This conference aims to bring together leading scientists working in the field of atomic physics and its applications by providing them with an online platform where they can present their latest research and stimulate discussions. The main topics and sessions of the conference are as follows:
- Atomic structure and spectra: theory and experiment;
- Atomic collisions: theory and experiment;
- Atomic data: applications for astrophysical and laboratory plasmas;
- Cold atoms and atom-based quantum technology;
- Artificial intelligence for atomic physics.
