The analysis here suggests that the level of development, the size of an economy, and the level of aid receipts matter for instituti...

Control over rectification in supramolecular tunneling junctions.

We report herein the concept of using a supramolecular platform on which dendrimers can be immobilized to result in tunneling junctions formed from assemblies with well-defined structures. In this way, the rectification can be controlled by changing only the chemical structure of the termini of the dendrimers, while minimizing the changes of the whole supramolecular assemblies. This method make...

Children are strongly influenced by the media, notably the internet, about biodiversity and conservation issues. However, most media focus on a few iconic, appealing, and usually exotic species.
