Twisted graphene exhibits previously-unseen form of magnetism

As a flat sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a lattice, graphene is pretty simple, and yet it keeps surprising scientists with new properties. For the latest in this long line of breakthroughs, a team from Stanford has shown that graphene arranged in a specific way can generate a magnetic field. That's surprising enough, but it turns out this particular form of magnetism has previously only been theorized.
