A survey of recent examples illustrates the diversity of areas in which electron affinities play a role: silicon and quantum dot (nanocrystal) semiconductor chemistry, Schottky diodes, molecular clusters, fullerene chemistry, interstellar chemistry, polymer photoluminescence, microelectronics, flat panel displays, and even hypotheses regarding the shuttle glow phenomenon.

Yet Priestley is often portrayed in negative terms, as a restless intellect, incapable of confining himself to any single task, without force or originality, and marked by hasty and superficial thought.
In The Enlightened Joseph Priestley, he emerges as a man who was more than a lucky empiricist in science, more than a naive political liberal, more than an exhaustive compiler of superficial evidence in militant support of Unitarianism.
The amount of information on Priestley is so vast that at least two volumes will be required to complete the task.

 Common gene mutation linked to drug addiction - 10 June 2002 - New Scientist
A common mutation in a gene that controls the breakdown of the brain's natural cannabinoids contributes to drug abuse and addiction, new US work suggests.
Pertwee agrees: "The fact that the correlation has only been found for illegal drugs and the mutated gene suggests that a higher concentration of endogenous cannabinoid in the brain may have the effect of reducing a person's inhibitions about taking illegal drugs in the first place," Pertwee suggests.
The Scripps team hopes the work might lead to a test to identify people at high risk of drug abuse.
