The University of Valencia develops a tool to improve research on molecular nanomagnets. Alejandro Gaita-Ariño, Silvia Giménez Santamarina, Lorena Rosaleny-Peralvo Salvador Cardona Serra, José Jaime Baldoví Jachán. A team from the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of Valencia has developed an open interactive platform that brings together and makes available to science around 20,000 data relating to the chemical design of molecular nanomagnets of special interest in the field of magnetic memories. SIMDAVIS, as the application is called, was born from the manual tracking of research results published by the scientific community over 16 years. Molecular nanomagnets are tiny physical systems capable of presenting magnetic memory in a single molecule. Their quantum behaviour and their infinite configurability, among other factors, make them useful for fundamental studies, but also for potential applications in the field of quantum technologies. Although data science has already broken ground in chemical research and the design of new materials, in the case of molecular nanomagnets, chance and chemical intuition continue to play the main role.
