What can inspire magnetism in graphene?


What is the strongest thing in this world?  And the name of steel will come in our mind, because as far as we know, there is no steel stronger than this time.  But some research has shown that the strongest object in this world is Graphene. Graphene which is used in pencil, graphite.

Why does physics believe that graphene is the strongest object. Graphene has a special set of properties that differentiates it from other allotropees of carbon, in proportion to its thickness, it is the strongest, and about 100 times stronger than steel. But still its density is dramatically lower than that of any steel, with a surfactic mass of 0.763 milligrams per square meter. It conducts heat and electricity very efficiently, and is almost transparent.

Scientists have given many theories about Graphene for decades, using Graphene, usually through pencils and other similar applications of graphite, inadvertently generating small amounts over centuries. Graphene was first introduced in 1962 by electron microscopes. As seen, graphene was studied while being supported on metal surfaces.

Generally Graphene is a two-dimensional structure made of carbon, a material with excellent mechanical, electronic and optical properties, Graphene is not suitable for magnetic applications anyway. Because carbon atoms do not have spin, this is not suitable for magnetic applications.

In the 1970s, international partners and Empa researchers together succeeded in predicting a unique nanography.Which conclusively demonstrates that carbon in very specific forms has magnetic properties, which may allow future spintronic applications.Depending on the shape and orientation of their edges, graphene nanostructures can have very different properties.

With colleagues at the Technical University in Dresden, the University of Alto in Finland, the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, and the University of Bern, empa researchers have now succeeded in creating a nanographene with magnetic properties,These are electronics that work at room temperature.

Empa researchers have succeeded in creating a nanographene with magnetic properties, a breakthrough that may be a deciding component for spin-based. How is that possible?  Demonstrating magnetism for carbon nanomaterials, graphene usually contains only carbon atoms, and magnetism is a property that it is rarely associated with carbon.

Carbon atoms in graphene are a single layer (monolayer), tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice, an allotment of carbon.  In which each carbon atom has four neighbors, it alternately forms single or double bonds with each other. In such a single bond, one electron from each atom - a so-called valence electron - binds to its neighbor;  And right there in a double bond, two electrons from each atom participate. Such alternating single and double bonds are known as the capule structure, according to this single double bond, an electron couple living in the same orbital must differ in its direction of rotation. According to the exclusion principle, the four quantities of two electrons of the same atom cannot be the same.

The closed shape enclosed by the six arms is called hexagon. In these structures of hexagons, one can never attract a single double bond pattern in which it meets the bonding requirements of the carbon atom. As a result, one or more electrons are forced to remain unpublished, and cannot form.

An electron moving around its axis creates a small magnetic field, which causes a magnetic moment. In this way, an orbital of an atom has two electrons with opposite spin, and these magnetic fields cancel each other. If an electron is alone in its orbital field, the magnetic moment remains, and this gives a measurable magnetic field result.

The bow tie-like structure that was predicted in 1970, known as Claire Goble, consists of two symmetric halves, constructed in such a way that one electron in each half is topologically frustrated. needed. If two electrons are coupled through the structure, they are antiferromagnetically coupled, causing their spins to be necessarily oriented in opposite directions, due to which, in the antiframomagnetic state, Clare's goblet "not" logic gate, Can act as.

If the spin direction reverses at the input, in this condition the output spin must also be forced to rotate, it is also possible to move to a ferromagnetic position where both are oriented along the same direction.When one of the electrons reverses its spin, in this condition the antiframomagnetic state must not spontaneously change to the ferromagnetic state in order to remain stable. And it is possible that the exchange coupling energy should be higher than the energy dissipation when it is operated at room temperature. 

Future spintronic based on nanography can erroneously function at room temperature, and under that condition, room temperature stable magnetic carbon nanostructures have been the only theoretical construct. For the first time, researchers have succeeded in constructing such a structure for the first time, and have shown, the theory is consistent with reality.

JWST Just Dropped a Space Banger – Meet HH 30, the Cosmic Baby Star with an Attitude!

  ๐Ÿš€Hubble Found It, Webb Flexed on It! NASA, ESA, and CSA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just hit us with another mind-blowing “Picture of the Month,” and this time, it’s all about HH 30 —a baby star with a dramatic flair! Sitting pretty in the Taurus Molecular Cloud, this young star is rocking a protoplanetary disc that’s literally glowing with potential future planets. And oh, it’s got some serious jets and a disc wind to show off!   ๐Ÿ’ซ What’s So Special About HH 30? Ever heard of Herbig-Haro objects? No? Cool, neither did most of us until now! These are glowing gas clouds marking the tantrums of young stars as they spit out jets of gas at supersonic speeds. HH 30 is one of them, but with a twist—it’s a prototype edge-on disc, meaning we get a front-row seat to the magic of planet formation!   ๐Ÿ“ก Webb, Hubble & ALMA—The Ultimate Space Detective Team.   To break down HH 30’s secrets, astronomers went full detective mode using:   ✔️...

Solar Storm Shocker: Earth Gets a Cosmic Makeover with Two New Radiation Belts!

  The May 2024 solar storm formed two new radiation belts between the Van Allen Belts, with one containing protons, creating a unique composition never observed before. Picture this: May 2024, the Sun throws a massive tantrum, sending a solar storm hurtling toward Earth. The result? Stunning auroras light up the skies, GPS systems go haywire, and—wait for it—Earth gets two brand-new *temporary* radiation belts! That’s right, our planet just got a cosmic upgrade, thanks to the largest solar storm in two decades. And no, this isn’t a sci-fi movie plot—it’s real science, folks!   Thanks to NASA’s Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) satellite, scientists discovered these new belts, which are like Earth’s Van Allen Belts’ quirky cousins. Published on February 6, 2025, in the *Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics*, this discovery is a game-changer for space research, especially for protecting satellites and astronauts from solar storm shenanigans. ...

NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Supernova to Aid Distance Measurements.

  The Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured a striking image of a supernova-hosting galaxy, located approximately 600 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. This image, taken about two months after the discovery of supernova SN 2022aajn, reveals a bright blue dot at the center, signifying the explosive event. Although SN 2022aajn was first announced in November 2022, it has not yet been the subject of extensive research. However, Hubble's interest in this particular supernova lies in its classification as a Type Ia supernova, a type that is key to measuring cosmic distances. Type Ia supernovae occur when a star's core collapses, and they are particularly useful for astronomers because they have a predictable intrinsic brightness. No matter how far away a Type Ia supernova is, it emits the same amount of light. By comparing its observed brightness to this known luminosity, astronomers can calculate how far away the supernova — and its host galaxy — are from...
