A team of researchers has managed to generate and detect spin currents in graphene without using any external magnetic fields for the very first time, successfully addressing a long-standing challenge ...

Movable structures can be manufactured from flexible, tear-resistant graphene oxide films, which simultaneously provide ...

McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape ...

McGill University engineers have developed ultra-thin materials that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, ...

When scientists cooled rhombohedral graphene to a very low temperature, it behaved like both a superconductor and magnet at the same time. As scientists did not think this was possible, this ...

An illustration depicts pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the middle lattice structure) that spin in clockwise or counterclockwise direction (corresponding to blue and red ...

The field of spintronics has evolved significantly since the pioneering discoveries of spin injection and giant magnetoresistance in the 1980s, which relied on spin-polarized electron injection from a ...

McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated ...

Recent research has found a new way to make graphene that adds structural defects to improve the performance of the material that could have benefits across a range of applications—from sensors and ...
