Graphene can host exotic new quantum electronic states at its edges

Sunday, December 22, 2013 - 18:30 in Physics & Chemistry

(Phys.org) —Graphene has become an all-purpose wonder material, spurring armies of researchers to explore new possibilities for this two-dimensional lattice of pure carbon. But new research at MIT has found additional potential for the material by uncovering unexpected features that show up under some extreme conditions—features that could render graphene suitable for exotic uses such as quantum computing.
