  • Their robots will dock with failing satellites to carry out repairs or push them into "graveyard orbits", freeing vital space in geostationary orbit.
  • meant that the German robots will be "ready to be used on any satellite, whether it's designed to be docked or not".

  • As a result of its high symmetry and conjugated bond structure, the electronic properties of C60 are very unusual, and there is a massive research effort toward integrating it into molecular scale electronic devices [4].
  • In this context, it is important to understand how the molecule forms bonds with a metal substrate, such as silver, which is commonly used as an electrode material.
  • The general trend in all of these cases shows that even molecules with relatively weak individual (atom-to-atom) surface bonds can induce substantial substrate reconstructions in order to create favorable adsorption sites [8]. Such “nanopatterning” of substrates is essential to the stability of ordered structures of these molecules and can critically influence their electronic structure, which is an important aspect in the design of molecular electronic devices.

global warming climate change model

  • theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record
  • There appears to be something fundamentally wrong
  • something other than carbon dioxide caused much of the heating during the PETM

    I find the title of the article misleading at best, but probably plainly wrong since they seem to talk about conditions way back and I am not sure how well our current models have been designed to work in these very different conditions? - but should probably be rather another good reason to put more effort into improving the models!
