(Half) Twisted Science: Researchers Build a Molecular Möbius Strip With Only Half the Twist
Insider Brief Researchers synthesized and imaged a carbon-based molecule whose electron system adopts a previously unrealized half-Möbius topology, meaning the electron orbitals twist by about 90 degrees as they travel around the ring. Using scanning probe microscopy and controlled voltage pulses, the team directly observed the molecule’s twisted electronic structure and reversibly switched it between […]
