History of MSL

about MSL
The first Mini-Symposium on Liquids (MSL) was held in 2007 at Okayama University. Since then MSL becomes a series of annual symposiums on liquids. The symposiums are organized by Kenichiro Koga (Okayama) and Ryo Akiyama (Kyushu) with full support from members of their research groups.
