Nanoscale rendering of graphene and chromium oxide
A nanoscale rendering of two materials, graphene (gray) and chromium oxide (blue), that collectively were used by a team of researchers to fabricate the first magneto-electric transistor. The red and green arrows represent spin, a magnetism-related property of electrons that can be read as a one or zero.
