SPRING SPin Research IN Graphene
What’s the SPRING Project
Magnetism is a property that had been missing from graphene’s impressive list of physical properties – until now. Owing to its unconventional magnetic properties, graphene has been touted as a promising material for spintronics applications. The ambition of the EU-funded SPRING project is to develop an all-graphene platform, where spins can be used for transporting, storing and processing information. Researchers from different disciplines will collaborate to fabricate atomically precise open-shell graphene nanostructures, and manipulate their electron spin and charge, and nuclear spin state. The aim is to test the potential of graphene as a fundamental building block for spintronic devices.
Graphene nanoribbons for emerging quantum technologies
In the last decades, a mathematical description of symmetries in nature called topology has been applied to describe and predict new electronic…

With colleagues at @ICMol_UV, we have demonstrated coherent control of a molecular nanomagnet clock transition using electric fields, and gained insights into the mechanisms underlying molecular spin-electric couplings. Read all about it today in NPhys! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-021-01355-4
Big congratulations on the fabrication of a #triangulate #nanostar by combination of solution and on-surface synthesis!

Borrowing the quote from Albert Einstein:
We are excited 99% of the time researching in science. Today, its a 100%!

"I think and think for months and years, ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right."

We will soon find out who has been awarded the 2021 #NobelPrize in Physics - stay tuned!
Thank you @MapIgnorance for "mapping" the latest scientific discovery of @springfetopen partners in collab. with @CFMdonostia on #graphene #nanoribbons!

Physicists did theoretical simulations that demonstrated the anomalous topology of the narrow GNRs. This result widens the scope for the use of graphene nanostructures in emerging quantum technology.
