The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), as the world's first and only polarized proton collider, offers a unique environment in which to study the spin structure of the proton. In order to study the proton's transverse spin structure, the PHENIX experiment at RHIC took data with transversely polarized beams in 2001-02 and 2005, and it has plans for further running with transverse polarization in 2006 and beyond. Results from early running as well as prospective measurements for the future will be discussed.

Conductive Langmuir-Blodgett films of ditetradecyldimethylammonium-Au(dmit)2 (dmit=1,3 dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) have been fabricated without the use of matrix molecules. The in-plane dc conductivity was as high as 40 S/cm after electrochemical oxidation at room temperature. A metallic conductivity with a negative temperature derivative was observed in the temperature range of 250–300 K. At lower temperatures, the temperature dependence of the conductivity was of Arrhenius' type with an activation energy of 2.5 meV.
