TL;DR: These findings demonstrate a mechanism of spin control in single-molecule devices and establish that they can serve as model systems for making precision tests of correlated-electron theories.

TL;DR: The linear conductance as a function of T/T(K) agrees with the scaling function expected for the spin-1/2 Kondo problem and is able to tune finite-bias Kondo features which appear at the energy of the first C(60) intracage vibrational mode.

TL;DR: The use of spatially resolved scanning electrochemical microscopy for detecting the presence and the "healing" of defects on graphene provides a strategy for in situ characterization and control of this attractive surface, enabling optimization of its properties for application in electronics, sensing, and electrocatalysis.

TL;DR: Success is reported in making electrical contact to individual magnetic N@C(60) molecules and measuring spin excitations in their electron tunnelling spectra, and it is verified that the molecules remain magnetic.

TL;DR: The conductance of individual optically switchable dithienylethene molecules in both their conducting closed configuration and nonconducting open configuration is investigated, using the technique of repeatedly formed break-junctions to achieve relatively well-defined molecular contacts and stable conductance.
