Kondo effect in single magnetic molecules

The Kondo effect was first explained more than 40 years ago by a Japanese physicist. It opened a new chapter in the study of fundamental physics. Now, that door is being pushed open a little further, thanks to the efforts of a team of physicists at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Aachen, Germany. Their paper, published May 17th in Physical Review Letters, is titled “Quantum-Tunneling-Induced Kondo Effect in Single Molecular Magnets,” and it offers possibilities for the further study of molecular transport.
