Description
Magnetism is one of the most intriguing phenomena observed in nature. Magnetism is relevant to physics and geology, biology and chemistry.
Traditional magnets, an ubiquitous part of many everyday gadgets, are made of heavy iron- or nickel based materials. Recently there have
been reports on the observation of magnetism in carbon, a very light and biocompatible element. Metal-free carbon structures exhibiting
magnetic ordering represent a new class of materials and open a novel field of research that could lead to many new technologies.
Audience:
Physicists, Chemists and Biologists.
