In previous volumes in this series, Advances in Metal and Semiconductor Clusters, the focus has been on atomic clusters of metals, semiconductors and carbon. Fundamental gas phase studies have been surveyed, and most recently scientists have explored new materials which can be produced from clusters or cluster precursors. In this latest volume, the focus shifts to clusters composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity. These clusters provide model systems for metal ion solvation processes and metal-ligand...

In the 1930s a band of smart and able young men, some still in their twenties, helped Franklin D. Roosevelt transform an American nation in crisis. They were the junior officers of the New Deal. Thomas G. Corcoran, Benjamin V. Cohen, William O.

Tras este viaje por las cárceles del Londres de finales del XVII, el lector termina convencido de que si el genio inglés siguiera vivo no harían falta máquinas para detectar billetes falsos.» Javier Fresán Después de treinta años como profesor en Cambridge, y habiendo culminado ya su carrera científica, en 1696 Isaac Newton aceptó el cargo de intendente...
