Graphene exhibits bizarre new behavior well suited to electronic devices

Thursday, July 29, 2010 - 21:14 in Physics & Chemistry

Graphene, a sheet of pure carbon, has been touted as a possible replacement for silicon-based semiconductors because of its useful electronic properties. Now, physicists have shown that graphene has another unique and amazing property that could make it even more suitable for future electronic devices. When contorted in a specific way it sprouts nanobubbles in which electrons behave as if they are moving in a strong magnetic field.
