Article describing the discovery of helium in the sun and on Earth via spectroscopy. Tourist information is included for areas significant to those involved.

Article describing the importance of the Harz Mountains and the University of Göttingen in the discovery of cadmium and thallium. Tourist information regarding the area is included.

Article describing the discovery of argon, helium, and other inert gases by Lord Rayleigh, Sir William Ramsay, and other collaborators. Ramsay also characterized the noble gases and classified them within the structure of the Periodic Table of Elements.

Front cover of the fall 2012 issue of The Hexagon, which features an image of the "ring of fire" that occurred during the annular eclipse on May 20, 2012. The photograph was taken in Brownfield, Texas a few minutes before sunset. The inside cover contains a table of contents, a staff list, an editorial, and details about the cover photograph.

This article discusses electric field induced phase transitions in polymers.

This article discusses multiple coexisting intercalation structures of sodium in peitaxial graphene-SiC interfaces.

In this paper, the authors show using scanning tunneling microscopy, spectroscopy, and ab initio calculations that several intercalation structures exist for Na in epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001). Intercalation takes place at room temperature and Na electron-dopes the graphene. It intercalates in-between single-layer graphene and the carbon-rich interfacial layer. It also penetrates beneath the interfacial layer and decouples it to form a second graphene layer. This decoupling is accelerated by annealing and is verified by direct Na deposition onto the interface layer. The authors' observations show that intercalation in graphene is fundamentally different than in graphite and is a versatile means of electronic control.

This critical review describes a class of polymers prepared by electrochemical polymerization that employs the concept of molecular imprinting for chemical sensing.
