Quantum units from the topological engineering of molecular graphenoids

Professor Lapo Bogani's Oxford Nano-Spin group in collaboration with the Technische Universitat Dresden and the Max Plank Institute for Polymer Research  reported recently in Science research demonstrating that topological tatloring of the sp2-carbon molecular graphene nanostructures leads to superior quantum performance. These results validate long-standing assumptions on the coherent behavior of topological defects in graphene and open up the possibility of introducing controlled quantum-coherent centers in the upcoming generation of carbon-based optoelectronic, electronic, and bioactive systems.
