The IBM scientists, together with researchers from the University of Warwick, for the first time in history managed to synthesize and take pictures of a very "tricky" molecule called triangulene (C22H12), also known as the Clare hydrocarbon, which existed only in theory since 1953.

The quantum magnetic properties of triangulene and other similar molecules will be saved in the sphere of various chemical compounds, in a wide range of different conditions, such as pressure, temperature, etc.

Therefore, scientists believe that such molecules, enclosed in graphene nanoribbons in the future can become the basis of spintronic devices or act as bits (qubits) of quantum computers.
