The discovery of the first Single-Molecule Magnet, Mn12-ac, in 1993 changed the
perspective of how information can be stored. The current bit, occupying few hundreds of …

Using individual molecules as conducting bridges for electrons offers opportunities when
investigating quantum phenomena that are not readily accessible from experiments …

Develo** new materials is a long-standing goal that extends across the fields of synthesis,
catalysis, nanotechnology and materials science. Transforming one compound or material …

Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Considering the creation of functional materials based on nanoscience, an emerging
concept of nanoarchitectonics has been proposed to combine nanotechnology with other …

This chapter highlights a variety of techniques that are commonly used to measure contact
angles, including the conventional telescope-goniometer method, the Wilhelmy balance …

We review charge transport across molecular monolayers, which is central to molecular
electronics (MolEl), using large-area junctions (NmJ). We strive to provide a wide conceptual …

The use of single molecules in electronics represents the next limit of miniaturisation of
electronic devices, which would enable us to continue the trend of aggressive downscaling …

Understanding how molecules interact to form large-scale hierarchical structures on
surfaces holds promise for building designer nanoscale constructs with defined chemical …
