NIST will be hosting the annual Synergy IRASTRO meeting in 2026 - a collaboration between the Faint Photonics Group at NIST, the Max Planck Institute in Goettingen, Germany, and the University of Aarhus in Denmark. The purpose of the meeting is to give updates on the progress from our respective research groups, have informal discussions, lab tours, and plan for the future of the project. The subject of the IRASTRO meeting is mid-infrared spectroscopy at the single photon level for the study of single molecules relevant to astrochemistry and astrobiology.
