Graphene with Artificial Magnetic Texture Could Enable More Robust Electronic Devices
Graphene is unbelievably strong, conductive, lightweight and the list of its superior properties continues.

However, graphene lacks one main property it is not magnetic, and this drawback has dwarfed its applications in spintronics, a rising field which, according to researchers, could ultimately rewrite the rules of electronics, resulting in more robust computers, semiconductors and other devices.
Led by the University at Buffalo (UB), an international group of researchers has now reported progress that could help surpass this barrier.

This book covers critical debates on policies, markets and emerging issues that shape renewable energy transition in the Asian region, which is fast becoming an epicenter of the global energy consumption.
Surely the preliminary report of the WHO investigators is good news – certainly puts the hypothesis that Covid-19 leaked from a research lab in the bin. Isn t that a relief? After all, why on earth would anyone hope that hypothesis was true?
Peter Daszak, a British-American member of the WHO team in Wuhan, previously told USA TODAY that in peoples imaginations there might be this image of one person in a lab in China who drops a petri dish and that somehow leads to a massive outbreak. It s just not like that. Every year there are millions of people going in bat caves and hunting and eating wildlife. It happens every day.
