✦ Synopsis

A new radiofrequency resonator for MR imaging of the human head is presented. The geometry consists of a single end-ring connected to eight legs which extend along a cylinder and are joined in pairs on a hemispherical dome. The most homogeneous normal mode of this structure is doubly degenerate and affords quadrature operation. The high sensitivity in the hemispherical end is particularly suited to human brain studies. This resonator represents a clinical application of two-dimensional ladder network resonant structures whose operation may be understood by analogy to the mechanical problem of oscillating two-dimensional membranes.

## Abstract A 2D porous network has been realized by self‐assembly of porphyrin modules on a silver surface, as reported by Diederich and co‐workers on p. 275. The so‐formed pores are able to host single fullerene molecules and mediate long‐range interactions between such carbon guests, resulting i
