The cosmology of the nonsymmetric theory of gravitation

We show that during cosmological inflation the nonsymmetric metric tensor theory of gravitation develops a spectrum which is potentially observable by cosmic microwave background observations, and may be the most sensitive probe of the scale of cosmic inflation.     

Size‐Control by Anion Templating in Mechanochemical Synthesis of Hemicucurbiturils in the Solid State

Self‐organization is one of the most intriguing phenomena of chemical matter. While the self‐assembly of macrocycles and cages in dilute solutions has been extensively studied, it remains poorly understood in solvent‐free environments. Provided here is the first example of using anionic templates to achieve selective assembly of differently‐sized macrocycles in a solvent‐free system. Using acid‐catalyzed synthesis of cyclohexanohemicucurbiturils as a model, size‐controlled, quantitative synthesis of 6‐ or 8‐membered macrocycles by spontaneous anion‐directed reorganization of mechanochemically‐made oligomers in the solid state is demonstrated.
