Ever WONDERED why perfectly seared steak, roasted coffee, or baked bread SMELL so irresistible?👃🔥

It’s not just cooking — it’s chemistry at work! ⚗️

The secret is called the MAILLARD reaction, and it’s the science behind flavor.

Interested in non-functional organic magnetic switches?

We actually do want to make them work — that’s why we study the ones that don’t, so we can make them function :-)

Proximity-Driven Magnetic Coupling between an Open-Shell Nanographene and a Rare-Earth Surface Alloy Open-shell nanographenes have attracted significant attention due to their structurally tunable spin ground state. While most characterization has been conducted on weakly interacting substrates such ...
