Most famous allotropes includes diamond and graphite . Many researches help to discover more forms of carbon in different shapes including ball shapes such as Buckminsterfullerene and sheets such as graphene . Nano tubes, nano ribbons, nano buds comes under large scale structures of carbon. Among these graphene is special. It has got many features like: •it is the thinnest compound known to man at one atom thick •the lightest material •the strongest compound that is discovered (300 times stronger than steel) •best heat and electricity conductor •harder than diamond •the superconducting prope

According  to Wikipedia, spintronics (also known as fluxtronics ) is defined by the study of the intrinsic spin of the electron. Basically, it is blend of electronics with spin. Why should we go for spintronics?                   Spintronics devices offer   enhanced functionality. Compared to " electronics ", spintronics has advantages over it. Imagine I'm using a " spintronic device ", for example a laptop :- • it requires no boot-up waiting period • it doesn't require a unique and specialized  semiconductor • it consumes less power • less heat dissipation • takes up lesser space on chip, thus more compact • spin manipulation is faster, which results in good read and write speed(probably faster than present SSD)                                           Video Courtesy After listing these advantages, almost every mind gets questions like "why this is not available in market now ?" "When can I experience this technol
