If I had a year off I would take my kids out of school and travel with them around the world. If I could be a piece of lab equipment, I would be an electron microscope. I am continually fascinated by being able to see atoms and to realize that they are real and not only symbols on a blackboard! In the future I see myself having the time of my life! Life is an adventure. My first experiment was preparation of B2O3 from sodium tetraborate when I was 14. I ended up splashed by 1 L of concentrated sulfuric acid! My favorite saying “It is not over until it is over” (I learned it from my mentor, Joe Wang). If I could be any age I would be 28 and traveling again with my wife around the world. My biggest inspiration is my wife. My favorite time of day is dinner with my family. My favorite quote is “I sit in the corner and look at the paintings” (Mr. Bean in the movie of the same name). It is a very deep thought—we all should do it more often. My favorite way to spend a holiday is at our Czech summer house. It's a perfect place to get off the grid and to finally have time to think. My 5 top papers: 1“Bjerknes Forces in Motion: Long-Range Translational Motion and Chiral Directionality Switching in Bubble-Propelled Micromotors via an Ultrasonic Pathway”: J. G. S. Moo et al., Adv. Funct. Mater. 2017, https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201702618. (Micromachines can be precisely controlled, moved, and “teleported” by using ultrasound.) 2“Layered Black Phosphorus: Strongly Anisotropic Magnetic, Electronic, and Electron-Transfer Properties”: Z. Sofer, D. Sedmidubský, S. Huber, J. Luxa, D. Bouša, C. Boothroyd, M. Pumera, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 55, 3382; Angew. Chem. 2016, 128, 3443. (More than one-hundred years after the discovery of black phosphorus, its anisotropy was investigated in depth.) 3“Synthetic routes contaminate graphene materials with a whole spectrum of unanticipated metallic elements”: C. H. A. Wong, Z. Sofer, M. Kubešová, J. Kucera, S. Matejková, M. Pumera, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2014, 111, 13774. (Graphene oxide soaks up impurities present in the reagents and becomes doped by elements from boron to thorium.) 4“‘Metal-Free’ Catalytic Oxygen Reduction Reaction on Heteroatom-Doped Graphene is Caused by Trace Metal Impurities”: L. Wang, A. Ambrosi, M. Pumera, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 13818; Angew. Chem. 2013, 125, 14063. (Despite the hype about “metal-free” electrocatalysis on graphene, we showed that metals are responsible for the catalysis!) 5“Carbon Nanotubes Contain Residual Metal Catalyst Nanoparticles even after Washing with Nitric Acid at Elevated Temperature Because These Metal Nanoparticles Are Sheathed by Several Graphene Sheets”: M. Pumera, Langmuir 2007, 23, 6453. (My beloved topic of impurities started with this paper.) Volume57, Issue15April 3, 2018Pages 3860-3860 ReferencesRelatedInformation
