Hurlburt et al. (2017) argue that they can potentially produce high-fidelity apprehensions of pristine inner experience that are radically non-subjective. In so doing, they claim that inner experience is an important topic and, contrary to almost unanimous scientific consensus, a method of introspection may be reliably used to directly apprehend it. In this and related articles (e.g., Hurlburt ...

ABSTRACT The main objective of this work is to investigate the adsorption of Pyrrole 2-carboxylic acid (PCA) from O, N and C sites on the surface of pristine and Ni doped B12N12 nano cage by using density functional theory (DFT). The results of adsorption energy indicate that the adsorption of PCA on the surface of B12N12 and NiB11N12 is exoth...

Electrons in two-dimensional hexagonal materials have valley degree of freedom, which can be used to encode and process quantum information. The valley-selective excitations, governed by the circularly polarised light resonant with material's band-gap, continues foundation valleytronics. It is often assumed that achieving selective excitation pristine graphene all-optical means not possible due...

Pristine single crystalline gold particles with sizes ranging from 300 to 700 nm have been fabricated through high-temperature (1150 C) liquid de-wetting of gold thin films atop a specially designed SiO2/Si substrate for in situ transmission electron microscopy testing. Quantitative compression tests showed that these particles display cataclysmic structural collapse immediately following elast...

The Diels-Alder (DA) reaction provides an attractive route to increase the number of six member rings in substituted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method has been used in this work to inquire if the substitution of H over the edge of triindenetriphenylene (pristine hemifullerene 1) and pentacyclopentacorannulene (pristine hemifullerene 2), co...
