New Spin On Graphene Makes It Magnetic 58
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."

Hey, that's great that they have a Nobel Prize for graphene, but isn't that... I don't know... a little specific?
