New Spin On Graphene Makes It Magnetic

intellitech writes "A team led by Professor Andre Geim, a recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize for graphene, has shown that electric current can magnetize graphene. The researchers found a new way to interconnect spin and charge by applying a relatively weak magnetic field to graphene and found that this causes a flow of spins in the direction perpendicular to electric current, making a graphene sheet magnetised."

Well the story was brought to you by timothy, editor of such other fuckups as the 1999 article on IQ scores which was posted this week, and many many more
