Jack Simons published a 110-page article (J. Phys. Chem. A 2008, 112, 6401) entitled Molecular Anions in which he overviews much of the past thirty year’s theoretical and experimental research on a wide variety of negative molecular ions. This is the first paper published by J. Phys. Chem. that incorporates active hyperlinks to web pages of scientists working in the field. learn more... |

Michael Bartl, Jeremy Galusha and colleagues from BYU and IBM reported the discovery of a diamond-based photonic crystal found in iridescent scales of a Brazilian beetle (Phys. Rev. E 2008, 77, 050904(R)). The discovered structure has one of the most-desired photonic architectures and is the first example of a diamond-based photonic crystal operating at visible wavelengths. learn more...
