What happened
A multi-institutional team led by researchers at Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences reported a material thinner than a human hair with magnetic properties. Separately, researchers from the National University of Singapore, working with scientists from Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Germany, demonstrated a way to introduce magnetism into a 2D semiconductor that can be electrically tuned.
