Honeycomb liquid crystals discovered. (12 June 2008)
The groups of Ungar and Tschierske of the SCALES Project have discovered that it is possible to produce LC with honeycomb-like polygonal cylinder arrays that have single-molecule walls. Their research has just been published in Chem. Comm. 2008, as Advance Article on the Web.
Supramolecular approach to the development of SAMs. (9 June 2008).
The groups of Samori and Lehn have demonstrated how to achieve subnanometer control over the molecular patterning on Au(111). The article was published by Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2008, 47, 2484 and has been now highlighted by Neil R. Champness in 'News and Views' of Nature Nanotechnology, June 2008. The research was conducted in the frame of the SUPRAMATES Project (9 June 2008).
