Researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Freiburg and the Institut Charles Sadron at the University of Strasbourg were able to demonstrate for the first time that non-covalent bonds between spin centres are also capable of producing quartet states through spin mixing.

Supramolecular chemistry is thus a valuable tool for the research, development and scaling of new materials for quantum technologies.

The results were recently published in the journal Nature Chemistry.

According to the American Heart Association’s 2025 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands, has projected that if the rate of global CO2 emissions continues to increase and reaches a high emission scenario, sea levels would as a result very likely rise between 0.5 and 1.9 metres by 2100. The high end of this projection’s range is 90 centimetres higher than the latest United Nations’ global projection of 0.6 to 1.0 metres.
