Atomically precise manufacturing (APM) is a key technique that involves the direct control of
atoms in order to manufacture products or components of products. It has been developed …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was introduced in 1986 and has since made its way into
surface science, nanoscience, chemistry, biology, and material science as an imaging and …

Chemical reactions on surfaces play central roles in heterogeneous catalysis, and most
reactions involve the formation and/or the cleavage of bonds. At present, density functional …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are established ligands for metal complexes and surfaces.
Here we go beyond monomeric NHCs and report on the synthesis of NHC polymers on gold …

The pursuit of reliable and sustainable energy storage solutions has spurred significant
research activity in the development of aqueous batteries (ABs). However, the energy …

Constructing low-dimensional covalent assemblies with tailored size and connectivity is
challenging yet often key for applications in molecular electronics where optical and …

Assembly of semiconducting organic molecules with multiple aryl–metal covalent bonds into
stable one-and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) metal–organic frameworks represents a …

A common characteristic of borophene polymorphs is the presence of hollow hexagons
(HHs) in an otherwise triangular lattice. The vast number of possible HH arrangements …

Interaction of molecular oxygen with semiconducting oxide surfaces plays a key role in many
technologies. The topic is difficult to approach both by experiment and in theory, mainly due …

The structures of metal oxide surfaces and inherent defects are vital for a variety of
applications in materials science and chemistry. While scanning probe microscopy can …
