Mike, Meng and Ken attended the American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting held on Los Angeles, CA, on March 4-9, 2018. Meng gave an oral presentation entitled "Alkali-Metal Promotion of Mass-Selected Metal Sulfide Nanoclusters on Au(111) for CO2 Activation", and Ken presented a poster with the title "Reactivity of Model Inverse Catalysts Prepared by Mass-Selected Cluster Deposition". They also enjoyed the beautiful californian weather while in NY it was snowing!
