TL;DR: An overview of the key aspects of graphene and related materials, ranging from fundamental research challenges to a variety of applications in a large number of sectors, highlighting the steps necessary to take GRMs from a state of raw potential to a point where they might revolutionize multiple industries are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reliable method for fabricating field effect transistors (FETs), which involves careful control of the semiconductor/gate interface (see figure), is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, light-controlled conductance switching of diarylethenes attached to Au(111) is reported, and reversible switching in self-assembled monolayers is established by means of optical spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Reversible, light-controlled conductance switching of molecular devices based on photochromic diarylethene molecules, in which neighboring particles are bridged by switchable molecules, is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review current challenges and perspectives in graphene spintronics, which is one of the most promising directions of innovation, given its room-temperature long-spin lifetimes and the ability of graphene to be easily interfaced with other classes of materials (ferromagnets, magnetic insulators, semiconductors, oxides, etc), allowing proximity effects to be harvested.
