Wire straits: Three-component molecular wires were constructed in situ by first assembling a monolayer of a bifunctional arene on the electrode surfaces, such that only one end of the molecule (thiol) reacts with the electrode. Then, a second molecule was used to chemically bridge the gap between the termini of the films. Coordination chemistry in this context provides a versatile method to reversibly form molecular-scale wires (see picture). EDTA=ethylenediaminetetraacetate.

I have observed that in the world the present moment, video games are classified as the latest popularity with kids of all ages. Often times it may be unattainable to drag your children away from the games. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are plenty of educational video games for kids. Great post.
