Engineers discovered that magnetic waves can behave exactly like electrons in graphene
Researchers have found that magnetic waves traveling through specific materials mimic the unique behavior of electrons in graphene, opening new doors for ultra-fast, energy-efficient computing technologies.
Magnetic waves called magnons can mirror the movement of electrons in graphene when passing through a honeycomb-shaped lattice. This phenomenon, observed by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, demonstrates that magnons possess the same mass-like properties and high-speed mobility found in the world's thinnest material.
