SIESTA is a first-principles materials simulation program based on density-functional theory (DFT). It was one of the first codes to enable the treatment of large systems with first-principles electronic-structure methods, which opened up new research avenues in many disciplines.| www.max-centre.eu
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the SIESTA project. To commemorate the occasion, a surprise celebration was organized during the SIESTA Advanced Workshop, paying tribute to the project’s origins and its founding members.| www.max-centre.eu
