Hot Papers in Physical Chemistry

’ Introduction RED HOT CHILI PAPERS

The Hot Interconnects VIII Symposium (HotI 8) took place during 16-18 August 2000, at Stanford University. If you were among the almost 400 attendees during those few days, you would have no doubt noticed several individuals roaming about dressed in loud, bright yellow Hawaiian shirts decorated with red hot chili peppers. The staff of HotI 8 picked the uniform not only to stand out in the crowd...

Readers' choice: hot papers downloaded in 2006.

The Editorial Team at Cardiovascular Research is always interested in exploring trends in the literature and finding out what topics are of current interest in cardiology and vascular biology. One way we do this is to occasionally monitor which articles published in CVR are most often downloaded as full-text papers. With an average of 50,000 requests for CVR titles per month in 2006, a figure t...

Physical Chemistry

The approaches range from theoretical studies – including statistical physics of non-equilibrium systems – to the organic synthesis of molecules and macromolecules, and they include many experimental studies on biological and biomimetic systems in which the parameters can be changed. A variety of microscopical techniques are used such as optical, multiphoton, electron and atomic force microscop...

Sulphur chemistry and evolution in hot cores

We compare the results of our JCMT spectral line survey of molecular gas towards ultracompact Hii regions with the predictions of models of sulphur chemistry in hot cores. We investigate the range of evolutionary models that are consistent with the observed physical conditions and chemical abundances, and see to what extent it is possible to constrain core ages by comparing abundances with the ...
