Graphene, a two-dimensional structure made of carbon, is a material with excellent mechanical, electronic and optical properties. However, it did not seem suitable for magnetic applications.

Although atom-thick sheets of carbon called graphene have many extraordinary properties, magnetism isn’t one of them. But a new study reveals that graphene can simply borrow the magnetic properties of ...

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 ...

Graphene is not magnetic -- a shortcoming that has stunted its usefulness in spintronics, an emerging field that could rewrite the rules of electronics, leading to more powerful semiconductors and ...

Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology claim to have significantly advanced sustainable nanomaterial synthesis by ...

Graphene, first isolated and characterized in 2004 by researchers at the University of Manchester (Manchester, U.K.) who used adhesive tape to separate graphite into individual layers of carbon, won ...

Graphene is incredibly strong, lightweight, conductive … the list of its superlative properties goes on. It is not, however, magnetic — a shortcoming that has stunted its usefulness in spintronics, an ...
