Graphene nanoribbons, which are narrow strips of nanoscale honeycomb carbon structures, exhibit remarkable magnetic properties due to the behavior of unpaired electrons in the atoms' π-orbitals.

Working with carbon-based materials offers a decisive advantage: “While individual atoms only have one spin, nanographenes make it possible to create several linked spins,” says Bae. Making several ...
