"...communication included psychology, language, and sensory physiology. Thus it was that from its earliest days RLE brought in linguists, psychologists, and neurophysiologists, as well as information theorists, radio engineers, and physicists."

Materials that have good wetting properties, as illustrated on the left, where droplets spread out flat, tend to have hydroxyl groups attached to the surface, which inhibits catalytic activity. Materials that repel water, as shown at right, where droplets form sharp, steep boundaries, are more conducive to catalytic activity, as shown by the reactions among small orange molecules.
