Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered graphene layers with some exciting magnetic properties and an electronic property that has not been seen before in a material. graphene is an atom-thick layer of carbon. They took graphite, the material inside a pencil, and separated the thinnest layers from it and arranged five of them in a rhombohedral pattern. They then measured their properties. First of all, this 5-layer graphene exhibited a peculiar magnetic property called multiferroic state, which is very rare. If that weren’t enough, the team also observed ferro-valleytricity, an unusual electric phenomenon. The team leader Long Ju, assistant professor of physics at MIT, said
