From Impossible to Reality: Researchers Create First Functional Semiconductor Made From Graphene

Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed the world’s first world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene. Graphene, characterized by a single layer of carbon atoms linked by the strongest bonds available, serves as the basis for this advancement. Semiconductors, essential materials that allow the flow of electricity under certain conditions, are critical for the operation of electronic devices. The team’s breakthrough throws open the door to a new way of doing electronics.
