Just in time for #pi day -- an anonymous participant of the #ChemPrint winter school came up with a very special #nerd joke: Probably the world's first atomic layer deposition (ALD) #meme!

#ALDep #chemsky #materialssky #surface @fau.de
Atomic layer deposition meme. In the first panel, the ligands say "This is my surface". In the second panel, they are run over by the next ALD cycle.

Can #hydrogen evolution be driven by a single-junction #solar cell if the complementary reaction oxidizes some waste such as urea instead of water?

Not quite, yet. Looking for #catalysts... See our first forays in this direction in Maxi's new paper!
