Spintronics is a new field of electronics, using electron spin rather than motion. This technology requires insulating components that can control this quantum property. Scientists have shown experimentally that a novel material shows all the required properties.

Письмо академика РАН В.Е. Захарова руководителю ФАНО России М.М. Котюкову
На днях стал известен 161 победитель конкурса РНФ по поддержке существующих научных лабораторий (кафедр). Попавшие в этот список наверняка почувствовали себя, что называется, опорой и надеждой отечественной фундаментальной науки. Но как шел отбор, чем он отличался от того, что проводился в ходе первого конкурса РНФ по поддержке отдельных научных групп? Сегодня по просьбе редакции на эти и другие вопросы отвечает председатель Экспертного совета РНФ член-корреспондент РАН Александр КЛИМЕНКО.
Main-group analogues to fullerene-C60 have been predicted theoretically many times. Now, B40− has been observed using photoelectron spectroscopy and, with its neutral analogue, B40, confirmed computationally. In contrast to fullerene-C60, the all-boron fullerene (or borospherene) features triangles, hexagons and heptagons, bonded uniformly by delocalized σ and π bonds over the cage surface.
It is generally believed that, after being generated, an excess electron in water shrinks from a strongly delocalized to a localized state in about a picosecond. Now, these early stages in the behaviour of this electron have been observed using a combination of transient THz spectroscopy and ab initio molecular

C-H activation: The road less travelled to amination pp661 - 663 Olga V. Zatolochnaya and Vladimir Gevorgyan doi:10.1038/nchem.2018 Intramolecular aliphatic C-H amination reactions are greatly sought-after for the synthesis of N-containing heterocycles, but current methods require the use of highly activated nitrogen sources. Now, aziridination and lactamization have been achieved using fully aliphatic, unactivated, secondary amines.
