Tailoring of the surface structure of noble metal nanocrystals is a hot research topic because of the fascinating surface structure-dependent properties in enormous applications, such as heterogeneous catalysis.
The Philae lander took this portrait of the Rosetta spacecraft on Sept. 7, 2014, at a distance of about 30 miles from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The puzzling, fascinating surface of Jupiter's icy moon Europa looms large in this newly-reprocessed color view, made from images taken by NASA's Galileo spacecraft in the late 1990s.
These fascinating surface functionalities would contribute to practical applications.
Typical examples of fascinating surface properties from the plants world are self-cleaning and superhydrophobicity, the so-called Lotus effect.
Is it really about philosophical depths, or fascinating surfaces?
Metal nanoparticles (NPs), especially those of noble metals, such as platinum [3], silver [17], gold [18], palladium [19], and their hybrids [20], have been commonly employed to perform electrocatalytic H2O2 detection, due to their fascinating surface-to-volume ratio, favorable biocompatibility, high stability, excellent conductivity, and catalytic ability [21, 22].
Brief endnotes expand on the folk traditions — dragons get their name from the ancient Greek, and in some tales are as small as butterflies — if only touching the surface of a fascinating subject.
For instance, Witten's conjecture regarding intersection numbers on the Deligne Mumford moduli space of stable Riemann surfaces has a fascinating connection to the Weil Petersson volume, which motivated Mirzakhani to give a proof via Teichmueller theory, hyperbolic geometry, and symplectic geometry.
The possibility of tuning surface magnetism using adsorbate dopants, or surface chemistry more generally, suggests a fascinating new research direction.
Microsoft's Surface Windows 8 Pro – a fascinating combination of tablet and laptop – is the company's most innovative product in years.
