Robustly coherent spin centers that can be integrated into devices are a key ingredient of quantum technologies. Vacancies in semiconductors excellent candidates, and theory predicts defects conjugated carbon materials should also display long coherence times. However, the performance nanostructures has remained stunted by an inability to alter sp2-carbon lattice with atomic precision. Here, we demonstrate topological tailoring leads superior molecular graphene nanostructures. We unravel...
Abstract Only single-electron transistors with a certain level of cleanliness, where all states can be properly accessed, used for quantum experiments. To reveal their exceptional properties, carbon nanomaterials need to stripped down single element: graphene has been exfoliated into sheet, and nanotubes vibrational, spin coherence properties only after being suspended across trenches 1–3 . Molecular nanoribbons 4–6 now provide nanostructures single-atom precision but suffer from poor...
Abstract Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), nanometre-wide strips of graphene, are promising materials for fabricating electronic devices. Many GNRs have been reported, yet no scalable strategies known synthesizing with metal atoms and heteroaromatic units at precisely defined positions in the conjugated backbone, which would be valuable tuning their optical, magnetic properties. Here we report solution-phase synthesis a porphyrin-fused graphene nanoribbon (PGNR). This PGNR has metalloporphyrins...
The ever-increasing demands for data processing and storage will require seamless monolithic co-integration of electronics photonics. Phase-change materials are uniquely suited to fulfill this function due their dual electro-optical sensitivity, nonvolatile retention properties, fast switching dynamics. extreme size disparity however between CMOS dielectric photonics inhibits the realization efficient compact electrically driven photonic switches, logic routing elements. Here, authors...
The realization of novel electronic devices based on 2D materials, i.e., field-effect transistors, has recently stimulated a renewed interest regarding ultrathin fluoride epitaxial films. Thanks to their chemical and dielectric properties, ionic fluorides could have the potential be used as insulators in many applications that require high processing control down nanoscale. Here we provide review some principal results been achieved past decades controlled growth different types materials...

- This article discusses the perspective scenarios of Italian market for bioethanol, face to Eu 2003/30 directive and more generally world oil fuels. We examine first convenience substituting bioethanol gasoline; we discuss alternative gathering ethanol market, comparing import with internal production. finally try forecast impact on final price gasoline consumption. show that rising prices, than internalization environmental cost, is main driver increases introducing biofuels. also argue...
Integrated Opto-Electronics In-memory computing mimics biological neurons by collocating the memory and processing unit. In article number 2200383, Harish Bhaskaran co-workers engineer a path to perform data-storage computations electronically modulating intensity of light. By defining plasmonic structures confine optical power nanoscale volume employing active phase-change materials, authors demonstrate ultra-low energy, non-volatile switching with electrical readout.
