TL;DR: Ciferri et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the synthesis and structures of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold and silver, along with chemical reactions that occur on SAMs after their assembly.

TL;DR: The combination of bio- and “photociphers” along with controlled timed-release exemplify the capabilities of InfoBiology, which could enable biometrics, communication through compromised channels, easy-to-read barcoding of biological products, or provide a deterrent to counterfeiting.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose low cost, portable three-dimensional devices for performing multiplexed assays, comprising at least two substantially planar layers disposed in parallel planes, wherein one of the layers is movable relative to each other parallel to the planes to permit the establishment of fluid flow communication serially between the two layers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature dependence of the RCH_2-Mg proton n.m.r. spectra of several Grignard reagents indicates that the rate of inversion at this center is relatively insensitive to the structure of the group R. The inversion rate of the primary organometallic compounds on solvent character and on added salts suggests that inversion proceeds by means of a mechanism having kinetic order greater than one.
