Researchers hear puzzling new physics from graphene quartet's quantum harmonies

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 - 12:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Using a one-of-a-kind instrument designed and built at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, an international team of researchers have "unveiled" a quartet of graphene's electron states and discovered that electrons in graphene can split up into an unexpected and tantalizing set of energy levels when exposed to extremely low temperatures and extremely high magnetic fields.
