Nature: Elementary Physics in a Single Molecule



Nature Nanotechnology Reports about How Researchers Control the Magnetism of a Single Molecule by Voltage

A team of physicists has succeeded in performing an extraordinary experiment: They demonstrated how magnetism that generally manifests itself by a force between two magnetized objects acts within a single molecule. This discovery is of high significance to fundamental research and provides scientists with a new tool to better understand magnetism as an elementary phenomenon of physics.
