  "abstract": "We present graphene quantum dots endowed with addition energies as large as 1.6 eV, fabricated by the controlled rupture of a graphene sheet subjected to a large electron current in air. The size of the quantum dot islands is estimated to be in the 1 nm range. The large addition energies allow for Coulomb blockade at room temperature, with possible application to single-electron devices.",
