From nonmagnetic to magnetic: A 2D semiconductor with electrically tunable magnetism
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered a way to add magnetic properties to a non-magnetic material. They were able to control these properties by using an electrical voltage. This breakthrough is based on atomically thin materials.
Why it's good news: It opens up new possibilities for understanding and manipulating magnetic behavior in materials, which could lead to innovative applications.
