Graphene Novelties– This week’s edition started off with a simple article from Science Daily: Graphene and ‘Spintronics’ Combo Looks Promising. A group of  researchers from the City University of Hong Kong and the University of Science and Technology of China presented their work on using graphene  as a platform for creating “spintronic” devices. In their scheme, the electromagnetic spin of  particles, their “up” or “down” orientation, could be used to  encode the ones and zeroes of binary data at incredibly high density (seeing as graphene is one atom thick) and…
