Graphene grown on SiC(0001) by Si depletion has a stepped surface with terraces and step heights up to 10 times larger than those observed in the original SiC surface. This is due to an additional step bunching that usually occurs during graphene formation. In this work, we show that such process can be suppressed by…

Abstract The formation of nanoporous gold by open circuit dealloying of 100 nm AgAu foils in nitric acid is investigated in situ and in real time by combining synchrotron small angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The time dependence of the dealloying is followed as a function of acid concentrati…

Abstract The repair of central nerves remains a major challenge in regenerative neurobiology. Regenerative guides possessing critical features such as cell adhesion, physical guiding and topical stimulation are needed. To generate such a guide, silk‐protein materials are prepared using electrospinning. Silk is selecte…

The solubilities of decahydropyrazino[2,3-b]pyrazine (DHPP) in methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol were measured at temperatures ranging from 274.95 to 354.75 K. The last crystal disappearance method was used to determine the solubility of DHPP. The experimental data were correlated by the van’t Hoff plot, λ h (Buchowsk…

The molecule (C═C)TTP (TTP = tetra-p-tolylporphyrin) and the triflate salt of its dication, [(C═C)TTP][OTf](2), have been synthesized and characterized. NMR spectroscopy, nucleus-independent chemical shift calculations, and the crystal structure of (C═C)TTP indicate that (C═C)TTP is antiaromatic and (C═C)TTP(2+) is ar…

A rapid synthetic route for polyarylated boron-dipyrromethenes using hexabromo boron-dipyrromethene as the key synthon is described. The X-ray structure revealed that the polyarylated BODIPY adopts a propeller-like conformation. These compounds exhibit red-shifted absorption and fluorescence bands with decent quantum…

Mineralogical processes taking place close to equilibrium, or with very slow kinetics, are difficult to quantify precisely. The determination of ultraslow dissolution/precipitation rates would reveal characteristic timing associated with these processes that are important at geological scale. We have designed an advan…
