Objective Clusters are aggregates of atoms or molecules with a well-defined size varying from a few constituents to several tens of thousands. They are the link between single atoms or molecules on one side and bulk matter on the other side. They provide the keys that explain how conventional matter builds up step by step and eventually finds its crystalline structure, physical and chemical properties. By studying clusters we wish to answer such fundamental questions as to which size has a given bulk property being reached.
