Controlling the Microstructure of Conjugated Polymers in High‐Mobility Monolayer Transistors via the Dissolution TemperatureCool down! The dissolution temperature is an efficient parameter to control the aggregation of conjugated polymers in solution and to influence their microstructure in monolayers. A lower dissolution temperature induces stronger π–π stacking interactions and larger fibrillar domains, resulting in high‐performance monolayer transistors with a mobility approaching 1 cm2 V−1 s−1....

Manganese catalyzed ß‐methylation of alcohols by methanolWe report an earth‐abundant metal catalyzed double and single methylation of alcohols. A manganese catalyst, which operates at low catalyst loadings and short reaction times, mediates these reactions efficiently. A broad scope of primary and secondary alcohols including purely aliphatic examples and 1,2‐aminoalcohols can be methylated. In addition, alcohol methylation for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals has been demonstrated. The catalyst...

Latest Results for Review of Philosophy and PsychologySelf-Referential Memory and Mental Time TravelAbstract Episodic memory has a distinctive phenomenology. One way to capture what is distinctive about it is by using the notion of mental time travel: When we remember some fact episodically, we mentally travel to the moment at which we experienced it in the past. This way of distinguishing episodic memory from semantic memory calls for an explanation of what the experience of mental time travel...
