NUS Researchers Make Groundbreaking Discovery in Creating Carbon-Based Quantum Materials

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed an innovative method for creating carbon-based quantum materials atom by atom using a combination of scanning probe microscopy and advanced deep neural networks. This groundbreaking approach demonstrates the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize atomic manufacturing and quantum material research, with significant promise for both basic science and potential future applications. The development of open-shell magnetic nanographenes is particularly significant, crucial for the development of high-speed electronic devices at the molecular level and the creation of quantum bits, the building blocks of quantum computers.
