TL;DR: In this article, the magnetization of individual superconducting discs of diameters down to 100nm was studied and it was shown that the superconding state of these discs is qualitatively different from both macroscopic and microscopic superconductors.

TL;DR: Graphene nanocrystals obtained by sonic exfoliation of graphite are studied, yielding a single species of defects responsible for the paramagnetism, with approximately one magnetic moment per typical graphene crystallite.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Coulomb drag in the regime of weak to intermediate (d l) coupling was studied experimentally, where d is the interlayer separation and l is the characteristic distance between charge carriers, where the two Dirac liquids effectively nest within the same plane but can still be tuned and measured independently.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied electron transport through graphene constrictions and showed that their conductance below 150 K increases with increasing temperature, in stark contrast to the metallic character of doped graphene.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review current challenges and perspectives in graphene spintronics, which is one of the most promising directions of innovation, given its room-temperature long-spin lifetimes and the ability of graphene to be easily interfaced with other classes of materials (ferromagnets, magnetic insulators, semiconductors, oxides, etc), allowing proximity effects to be harvested.
