Palma Lab for atomically precise soft matter technology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences
Device Physics, Surface Science, Synthesis and Simulations for Atomically Precise Organic Technology at Interfaces
The Palma Lab aims at unveiling a new generation of organic-inorganic soft matter technology, designed atom by atom, layer by layer, from the bottom up.
Direct (anti)aromatic on-surface fabrication on insulators reported in Nature Communications
2017.09 Polyaromatic hydrocarbons can now be fabricated (and soon polymerized) on silver and boron nitride substrates at temperatures below 300 °C, potentially changing the way we fabricate graphene-like materials

Funding 2018-2020
2018.08 We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Thousand Youth Talents Plan grant, the CAS Bureau of Frontier Sciences and Education grant no. QYZDB-SSW-SLH038 and the Sino-German NSFC-DFG grant no. 51761135130. Our team members are currently supported by the Laboratory of Microfabrication at the Institute of Physics, and the Beijing Institute of Technology
