Stable, room‐temperature ferromagnetism in carbon — more precisely, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite — with Curie temperature as high as 460 K is reported. The magnetization can be easily tuned by controlling the low‐energy carbon ion implantation dose used to create the samples. Theory indicates that the ferromagnetic order likely results from itinerant π ‐electrons from defects (see figure).
