Strained Graphene Creates Pseudo-Magnetic Fields Stronger Than Any Before Seen
Putting the right kind of strain on a patch of graphene can make super-strong pseudo-magnetic fields, a new study says. The finding sheds new light on the properties of electromagnetism, not to mention the odd properties of graphene. When graphene is stretched to form “nanobubbles,” the stress causes electrons to behave as if they were…

DIY Wearable Computer Turns You Into a Cyborg
Someday humans and computers will meld together to create cyborgs. But instead of waiting for it, Martin Magnusson, a Swedish researcher and entrepreneur, has taken the first step and created a wearable computer that can be slung across the body. Magnusson has hacked a pair of head-mounted display glasses and combined it with a homebrewed…
