Imaging the Molecular Orbitals of Pentacene

eparker05 writes "Researchers at University of Liverpool have used a scanning tunneling microscope to image the aromatic molecule pentacene (Abstract). Not unexpectedly, the resulting images showed an astonishingly close correlation to the theoretically predicted molecular orbitals. This incredible set of images reminds me of the group that imaged a single carbon atom in 2009."

    The big message: AVOID ALL OXIDIZING MATERIALS! If you cannot and must work around it, be SURE to visit a reputable Chiropractor and explain that you work around oxidizers. The Doctor will be able to focus his treatments accordingly.

    Fact: Chiropractors are funded by the shadowy oxidizing lobby. When they give you an expensive massage, doing nothing to treat your ailments, they are secretly rubbing in oxidizing agents.
