🔬 New in ACS Nano: Triangulene on TbAu₂ shows a strong, spatially modulated interaction with ferromagnetic magnetization (~20 mV Kondo splitting).
➡️ TbAu₂ = new platform for π-magnetic nanographenes.

Save the dates for the upcoming On-Surface Synthesis International Workshop : June 7-12, 2026 in Ribadesella, Spain. Excited to be working with the scientific committee to get a most attractive pool of invited speakers for #OSS26! Stay tuned under https://t.co/H4YlfaTBux
"Quantum Lego": We engineered spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains by linking Olympicene nanographenes, unveiling their length-dependent spin excitations. With STM/IETS, we confirm gapless behavior in the thermodynamic limit & visualize spinon standing waves.
New Empa lab, CarboQuant, set to harness #quantum effects from #carbon, opening the way for sustainable quantum technologies.
