Local Conformational Switching of Supramolecular Networks at the Solid/Liquid Interface

Klaus Kern, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Fernando Pablo Cometto

We use the electric field in a scanning tunneling microscope to manipulate the transition between open and close packed 2D supramolecular networks of neutral molecules in nonpolar media. We found that while the magnitude of the applied field is not decisiv ...

TwinDrivers: Semi-Automatic Derivation of Fast and Safe Hypervisor Network Drivers from Guest OS Drivers

Willy Zwaenepoel, Aravind Menon, Simon Schubert

In a virtualized environment, device drivers are often run inside a virtual machine (VM) rather than in the hypervisor. Doing so protects the hypervisor from bugs in the driver, and also allows the reuse of the device driver and its support infrastructure ...
