Andrea Thorn and Gianluca Santoni are co-chairing a session at IUCr meeting 2021 
entitled "Structural biology of coronaviruses" on the 16th of August.
The subject of the session are structural and functional insights about 
the life cycle and virus-host interaction of SARS-CoV-2 and other 
coronaviruses with a particular view to integrative uses of 
crystallography in connection with other methods.

Ultrafast Electron Microscopy (UEM) facilitates microscopic imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy at picosecond timescales.

In this online seminar, Jonas Weissenrieder will talk about the recently constructed UEM set-up at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) as well as some exciting results achieved using the ASI CheeTah M3 Hybrid Pixel Detector for both diffraction and imaging.Â

The application of a novel combination of transient grating excitation with Lorentz UEM will be discussed and Prof. Dr Weissenrieder will share recent, experimental, time-resolved results that provide detailed and real space information of the magnetic precession.

Highlights:Â

• Methods to control and detect magnetization dynamics achieving nanometer and picosecond resolution.
  
  
• Promising future applications; the study of spin waves and dynamic behavior in ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems.
  Â
• Review of a recent study on photo-driven structural dynamics in Td-WTe₂.
  
  
• Description of the structural response of WTe₂ following laser excitation, including excitation of an A1 shear phonon and a photo-driven phase transition.
  
  
• The importance of including both short- and long-range optical field interactions in stacking order of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides.
