AtomLab for atomic-scale quantum nanomaterials at the HU Berlin & PalmaLab for atomically precise soft matter technology at IOP CAS
Quantum Matter, Device Physics, Surface Science, Synthesis and Simulations for Atomically Precise Organic Technology at Interfaces
The AtomLab and the PalmaLab aim at unveiling a new generation of organic-inorganic matter, its physics and deployment, 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
