Its a "pseudo-magnetic" field. Electrons behave as if they see a 300T field despite the absence of the application of an actual 300T field. Thus, I don't think it has any NMR applications as of yet.]]>Aug 2nd 2010 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/02/strained-graphene-leads-to-pseudo-magnetic-fields-bends-physics/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/02/strained-graphene-leads-to-pseudo-magnetic-fields-bends-physics/

An average of 0.5 gauss at the surface. 10000 Gauss = 1 tesla, so 50 microteslas. Not very strong.

A common magnet is 1.0 T
A rare earth magnet is up to 1.4 T.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging is 1.5 T.
Some high field MRI can reach up to 10 T.
And experimentally, the limit was 90 T.

But this technology feature 300 T. It is insane and it can become a technological revolution.

Unless I misinterpreted things, there is no magnetic field at that strength - the electrons are merely behaving as if they were subjected to 300T due to some interesting properties of graphene. Perhaps someone more clued in that I can shed some light on this.]]>Aug 2nd 2010 11:06PM
