Thanks decimon! There is a surprising number of topics about graphene here on FR. :') Burnt City still roooools though. ;') Carbon nanotubes conduct electricity at low resistance, carry metal molecules along for the ride.
...pseudo-magnetic fields far stronger than the strongest magnetic fields ever sustained in a laboratory -- just by putting the right kind of strain onto a patch of graphene. "We have shown experimentally that when graphene is stretched to form nanobubbles on a platinum substrate, electrons behave as if they were subject to magnetic fields in excess of 300 tesla, even though no magnetic field has actually been applied," says Crommie. "This is a completely new physical effect that has no counterpart in any other condensed matter system."

Pencil-necks and graphite just go together. ;-)
