Sophie's Socks and Stuff

Bum. That post was meant to have tidy little bullet points at the start of each sentance.
 

i didn't understand any of the big words in there.
 

It's not so bad really. I had to read some papers by a chap I want to visit and work with at another university (in Canada - woo hoo). he does the similar stuff to me but can look at stuff with a microscope the same time as doing the electrochemistry (spectroelectro - I like that word although I'm not entirely sure it's real)

Helmholtz was a bloke who came up with the idea of an organised solvent structure at an electrode surface and that it could act as a capacitor. hence the term double layer and helmholtz layers.
