Electrical sliding switches graphene between magnetic states
Key Takeaways
- Cornell researchers manipulated graphene using electrical sliding.
- The process switches the material between distinct magnetic states.
- Magnetic states remain stable even after removing the voltage.
- Discovery paves the way for advanced quantum and memory devices.
Researchers at Cornell University have discovered a groundbreaking method to control quantum properties in two-dimensional materials. By electrically sliding the layers of ultrathin graphene, they can switch the material between distinct magnetic states.
Remarkably, these magnetic states persist even after the applied voltage is removed, offering significant potential for future quantum devices and advanced data storage technologies.
