Schwenkler is undeterred. He argues that the study could be improved by lowering the visual demands placed on subjects, a sugg...

A strong molecule-surface interaction between free-base-tetra(4-bromophenyl)-porphyrin and Cu(111) results in a distortion of both the molecule and the underlying copper surface in the vicinity of the molecule. This in turn leads to the formation of an intermediate complex due to bonding between the iminic nitrogens and surface copper atoms.

Due to the immense energy and associated financial cost of drying paper, achieving a drier web entering dryers is key objective in paper manufacture. One major research thrust has been finding way increase press solids by mitigating or eliminating rewet section. For decades, solutions this problem have remained elusive. In work, we develop novel approach that significantly reduces rupturing liq...
