The discovery is a result of a longstanding fruitful collaboration of scientists from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and laboratories in Cambridge and Nottingham in the UK.
The present work of the Czech and Spanish scientific team consisted in a detailed theoretical analysis of the mechanisms by which the images of carbon materials arise in the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) and the atomic force microscope (AFM). The results were published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters.
CERN starts to produce relevant physics results. In heavy-ion collisions physicists managed to evocate situation which is often popularly called Little Big Bang.
The team has engaged recently discovered quantum-relativistic phenomena for both spin manipulation and detection to realize the spin transistor and to demonstrate spin-logic operation.
