Van der Waals magnetic materials (vdWs) have allowed for the exploration of the two dimensional limit of magnetism, however, most vdWs are only magnetic at low temperature. Herein, the authors overcome this limitation, observing room temperature magnetic ordering in Cobalt doped graphene-like Zinc-Oxide.
