To stop the tip from absorbing the pentacene molecule, the researchers replaced the metal with a single molecule of carbon monoxide.
Don't they know that carbon monoxide is toxic? :smile:

Element 117 discovered?

A paper just accepted for publication (5 April 2010) in Physical Review Letters by Yu. Ts. Oganessian and others claims the synthesis of a new element with atomic number 117. The abstract states "The discovery of a new chemical element with atomic number Z=117 is reported. The isotopes 293 117 and 294 117 were produced in fusion reactions between 48 Ca and 249 Bk. [...]
