Two-headed chemical mayhem!

Nano-(insert wanky name here)


A self-confessed arachnophobe, I totally detest spiders... Having said that, I will now reveal the chemical structure of the smallest known arachnid, known as nanospider. I thought I'd contribute to the already burgeoning list of stupidly named molecules I've encountered including nanokid, nanoscholar and nanocar (Nano Lett. 2005, 5, 2330).

The cis-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9-octaethylazacyclononane molecule (note the cis-stereochemistry of all the ethyl groups) incorporates 8 flexible ethyl legs as well as a pair of electronic eyes (I know spiders have eight, but meh..whatever) located in an sp3 hybrid orbital. In contrast to the Lewis structure I have given, Spartan predicts four of the spiders legs to be above the mean plane and four below it....making for a really uncoordinated look...so yeah...lets just ignore that! Nanospider loves organic media - it can spin graphitic webs of beautiful symmetry and high strength in no time ;)

The first person to prepare nanospider (pls send 1H NMR and ESI-MS spectra) will receive a free cookie from me...and if that wasn't motivation enough, you can be third author (after bunsen and myself) on the resulting Nature paper!

Ah nano spider, we meet again! I see you always looking at me from the whiteboard in the NMR room, judging my spectra with silent discontent!

I think now we need to make nano-flies so nano-spider can eat and catch things in his nano-web..... New PhD project maybe?

Hey is that alex?? OMG alex come back to usyd now, I need to be told about random quirky pieces of info about stuff at lunch time and someone to tell me how to do things in the lab!

Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX five hundred running shoe, and, since it originally comes from the '80s, the gaming electrified design and coloring is an easy choice ... Right? The kicks would possibly not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game based primarily on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes the game stars a personality named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has five mins to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking thugs, collect power-ups, and pull off insane rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It looks suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

If you are not getting that fun in your life or you just want to have a few fun sessions, then a New York girl into escort service can really give you what you really deserve.
That's why they have been so successful and popular in the pleasure friendly crowd.

The fact about today's fast paced life is that no one has the time or patience to build a lasting relationship. It is even more difficult to maintain an existing relation because of professional and other career related pressures. The only benefit that an individual can get after working so hard is money. So, why not use this money for buying some satisfying experiences.

All girls are very much educated and they know how to keep themselves clean and hygienic. If you have never used Hugo Boss once in your life yet, don't be surprised to smell it on their skins. They are really very much beauty and style conscious. That's the reason they have been able to mark such a big impression in the psyche of each and every escort fun lovers.

French attempts finally brought results at minute 75 when Pjanic took a pass from Lisandro in the area; with a volley, he then passed Casillas to score Lyon’s first goal in the game. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid website[/url] At the end of this match, Kaká stated his satisfaction with scoring for Real again in a tough match after having been injured for some time. He hopes his team will keep fighting for theiruntil the end.
"It's a tremendous joy to score; I've been waiting for a game like this for a long time. I think I've given a clear answer on the field to all of those who have criticized me," said Kaká.

Real Madrid’s next game will be against Xerez at the Municipal de Chapín Stadium on February 13th, whereas Espanyol will face Deportivo La Coruna at home on February 14th. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]karim benzema[/url] The second goal of the night came after Xabi sent a pass to the edge of the box, from which Messi drove a precise, angled left-footed shot into the far corner of the net. Then, left alone in the penalty area, Gerard Picque took a pass from Ibrahimovic and finished the play with an easy throw that passed the goalkeeper and moved the score to 3-0.
