'In Germany in the 1930s, scientific institutions and societies failed at every level to offer any significant resistance to Nazism,' writes Phil Ball. 'Donald Trump’s United States is not Hitler’s Germany. But the point is surely to learn from it anyway.' https://t.co/sTZvSh2B2h

Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion

Excited to share that the acene family has grown with its longest member yet, pentadecacene (15ac), which we synthesized and characterized on a gold surface. @BettingerLab @RalfTonner. Congrats to Zilin, Jakob, John, Tim, Laurentia, Felix! @ERC_Research @SFB1083 @ProLOEWE.

In STM with a CO tip, molecular orbital densities look totally different at different tip heigths. Here is why and how to account for it. Teaser: It's NOT due to different decay constants of s- and p- wavefunctions, as one might have guessed (!)

The appearance of frontier molecular ion resonances measured with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)─often referred to as orbital density images─of single molecules was investigated using a CO-fun...

At least as nice as an egg-shaped molecule in Science: these two small guys made it safe out of their eggs today 🎉
Cyclocarbon C18 (doubly aromatic) is a freak, C16 (doubly anti-aromatic) a superfreak, C13 is the freakiest of them all: triplet ground state, more or less delocalized carbene center, and neither Baird's nor Hueckel's rule can be applied. https://t.co/VPyxh9oceJ
