Surface-chemistry Memes

When you're studying CO (carbon monoxide) adsorbed on nickel particles and the paper title literally becomes a chemistry pun. "CO Adsorbed" = "CO-Adsorbed" which sounds exactly like "So based" in internet slang. The researchers knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they titled this chapter. Someone at Springer Nature really said "let's make surface chemistry cool" and honestly? Mission accomplished. The fact that this is real academic literature from a book called "Physics and Chemistry of Small Clusters" makes it even better. Bradley and Marzouk out here accidentally creating the most chemistry-bro title in spectroscopy history. It's giving "we're studying molecular interactions but make it Gen Z."
