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 ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Atomic landscape of chromium halides
Researchers have found that the magnetic properties of a chromium halide can be tuned by manipulating the non-magnetic atoms in a material. In this illustration showing the atomic landscape of chromium halides, the magnetic chromium atoms appear as gray spheres and the non-magnetic ligand atoms as ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

"Chrome Labyrinth," by Michael Woodson
. Millions of tiny wrinkles formed when Woodson layered a sheet of chromium (0.1 micrometers thick) over a layer of acrylic polymer and heated the two together. "The formation of these patterns was totally accidental," says Woodson, "and actually caused a fair ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
