To and fro: Chiral metal–organic frameworks (CMOFs) derived from redox-active ruthenium/salen building blocks exhibited reversible single-crystal to single-crystal reduction and reoxidation. The catalytically inactive RuIII CMOFs (green; see picture) were reduced to RuII CMOFs (red) that were highly active for the asy…

The use of high-permittivity materials has been shown to be an effective method for increasing transmit and receive sensitivity in areas of low-signal intensity in the brain at high field. Results in this article show that the use of these materials does not increase the intercoil coupling for a phased array receive c…

Herein reported is a fundamentally new strategy for the design of high-power and high energy-density devices. This approach is based on the exchange of lithium ions between the surfaces (not the bulk) of two nanostructured electrodes, completely obviating the need for lithium intercalation or deintercalation. In both…

We investigate the electronic structure of carbon nanotubes functionalized by adsorbates anchored with single C-C covalent bonds. We find that despite the particular adsorbate, a spin moment with a universal value of 1.0 μB per molecule is induced at low coverage. Therefore, we propose a mechanism of bonding-induced m…
