Pseudo-Magnetic Fields Produced by Straining Graphene

An international team of scientists has recently managed to achieve an incredible goal in graphene research. They were able to produce pseudo-magnetic fields several times stronger than the strongest magnetic fields ever obtained in the lab. All of this was possible through applying the corre...
