Nanoscale Imaging of Wet Polymer Materials

Nonmagnetic elements turn graphene magnetic
Physicists have predicted that graphene, a single atomic sheet of carbon, could be turned magnetic simply by attaching a hydrogen atom (or removing a carbon atom). However, detecting this magnetism has been elusive due to many pitfalls that arise using traditional methods. Kawakami has developed a new method
