Graphene Continues to Break Records and Revolutionize Electronics.
Researchers at The University of Manchester have discovered record-high magnetoresistance in graphene, reaching above 100% in magnetic fields of standard permanent magnets. This discovery could help solve longstanding mysteries surrounding strange metals and linear magnetoresistance, and has potential applications in magnetic sensors found in cars and computers. The researchers used high-quality graphene in its intrinsic state, creating a plasma of fast-moving Dirac fermions that demonstrated a surprisingly high mobility despite frequent scattering.
