Woo hoo!

This may well solve the problem of the energy required to maintain a magnetic bubble around a fusion reaction.

May well be the KEY!

When stronger fields are created, the magnets blow themselves apart.

LOL! Understatement of the year award. Nothing about reverse EMF toasting breakers, EMP killing equipment, or the startling noise and flash.

Its always nice to hear about the real science going on in the world and not just the political cult babble surrounding AGW. But then, I doubt that many climate scientists would be able to hang with this crowd.

Wow! This reminds me of the 1950s, when semiconductors replaced vacuum tubes.

Again ... Wow!

Ok, now that they have made electrons act as if they are in a very intense magnetic field what are the possible applications if any?

How much strain is required? If the strain is cycled is current flow produced?

They’re calling it a “pseudo” magnetic field for a reason: it’s not a magnetic field.

This is just one more grant sucking scheme.

Graphene Under Strain

Wasn't that a Star Trek episode? Graphen was a real hottie as I recall...

I wonder if we could make electric guitar strings out this stuff.

How long before EPA declares it to be a pollutant and tries to limit it.

Does this have anything to so with an anti-gravity look-alike?

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."

For example, in strong pseudo-magnetic fields electrons orbit in tight circles that bump up against one another, potentially leading to novel electron-electron interactions. Says Crommie, “this is the kind of physics that physicists love to explore.”

But the kind of English that grammarians love to deplore.

IIRC,

THAT’S DINKING AROUND in the area of UFO type technologies.

. . . both in terms of the graphene as well as the results.

We know that one of the first applications of any new technology springing from this discovery will be in the ever-burgeoning field of pornography; we just don’t know how!
