New Electronics Material Closer to Commercial Reality

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 27, 2011 — Researchers have developed a method for creating single-crystal arrays of graphene, an advance that opens up the possibility of a replacement for silicon in high-performance computers and electronics. Graphene — a one-atom-thick layer of carbon — conducts electricity with little resistance or heat generation. The new findings represent an advance toward perfecting a method for manufacturing large quantities of single crystals of the material, similar to the production of silicon wafers, which could make possible a new class of high-speed transistors and integrated circuits...Read full article
