Science Daily  August 15, 2023 Graphene nanoribbons synthesized using bottom-up approaches can be structured with atomic precision, allowing their physical properties to be precisely controlled. For applications in quantum technology, the manipulation of single charges, spins or photons is required. However, achieving this at the level of single graphene nanoribbons is experimentally challenging due to the difficulty of contacting individual nanoribbons, particularly on-surface synthesized ones. An international team of researchers (Switzerland, UK, Germany, China) has attached electrodes to individual atomically precise nanoribbons paving the way for precise characterization of the ribbons and their possible use in quantum technology. The approach […]
