flag Scientists created a carbon-based molecule with a half-Möbius electron twist, enabling new quantum behaviors.

flag Scientists have created the first molecule with a "half-Möbius" electronic topology, where electron orbitals twist 90 degrees per loop, requiring four circuits to return to the starting point. flag The carbon-based C₁₃Cl₂ molecule, built atom-by-atom using advanced atomic manipulation, exhibits unique quantum behaviors due to its twisted electron cloud, confirmed via quantum computing simulations and high-resolution microscopy. flag This breakthrough, achieved by IBM and the University of Manchester, demonstrates deliberate engineering of electronic topology, opening new pathways in quantum materials and nanotechnology.
