Three small purple spheres are on left, and one large purple sphere is on right. A bending stream of energy is between them. Graphene layers are in the background.
Electrons become fractions of themselves in graphene, study finds

Between layers of graphene are 4 paired, shiny electrons. 2 are blue and 2 are red, and whisps of glowing energy connect them together. They have rings like Saturn, and these rings move them clockwise or counter-clockwise.
