Nanoribbon Building Blocks

Caption

This image shows bottom-up synthesis of graphene nanoribbons from molecular building blocks (left). The resulting ribbon, or heterojunction, has varied widths as a result of different width molecules; and a scanning transmission microscope image of graphene nanoribbon heterojunction (right), with larger-scale inset of multiple ribbons.
