    ScienceDaily (July 29, 2010) — Graphene, a sheet of pure carbon heralded as a possible replacement for silicon-based semiconductors, has been found to have a unique and amazing property that could make it even more suitable for future electronic devices.

    Specifically, the electrons within each nanobubble segregate into quantized energy levels instead of occupying energy bands, as in unstrained graphene. The energy levels are identical to those that an electron would occupy if it were moving in circles in a very strong magnetic field, as high as 300 tesla, which is bigger than any laboratory can produce except in brief explosions, said Michael Crommie, professor of physics at UC Berkeley and a faculty researcher at LBNL

    This is a very significant advancement in future of electronics.And it is also relevant to my time travel thesis.

    They could design this in a way to allow increased magnetic propulsion without the use of actual magnetic fields. And it would be magnitudes higher than what we are even capable of doing today.


    Sounds like a thing that could be used if someone were attempting to build a particle accelerator.
