The year is almost over but there is one more good news item from the FHI-aims community today: BSE@GW for optical properties of extended periodic systems. HAPPY 2025!

Nearly missed this great news today, just before the year ends: #chemsky #compchemsky doi.org/10.1021/acs.... "All-Electron BSE@GW Method with Numeric Atom-Centered Orbitals for Extended Periodic Systems" is out in JCTC. Getting the response of a solid right is tricky and this is a key step.
