Synthesis of aromatic belts with embedded thiophene structures, which manifest significant optoelectronic and conductive properties, has not yet been achieved. Herein, the authors report the synthesis of thiophene-fused aromatic belts via one-step sulfur cross-linking reaction of partially fluorinated cycloparaphenylenes.
Double-sided van der Waals epitaxy across an ultrathin membrane provides a new method for growing a vertical junction with an atomically sharp interface, enabling the direct detection of selection rules for resonant tunnelling between topological surface states.
Stars don’t appear to show up in any photographs of space, nor do astronauts recall seeing them when on a mission — so why is that and how does it work?
Philosophy and science are often thought of as separate things, but today I argue why they are more similar than we think. I also analyze why it is important to have a solid understanding of both, using critical thinking to acquire knowledge and use these tools to understand the world we live in.
