Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed-matter physics that were long considered separate. The electronic and ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using magnetic fields. These currents are vital for spintronics, a faster and more ...

Graphene has many fantastic properties that could change the course of human civilization. It's chemically stable, highly conductive, and incredibly strong. One thing it is not, however, is magnetic.

National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have developed a concept to induce and directly quantify spin splitting in two-dimensional materials. By using this concept, they have experimentally ...

Graphene-based nanoparticle composites attract considerable attention due to their unique properties and the large variety of possible applications, such as sensing, energy storage, and catalysis. The ...
