Breakthrough in the search for graphene-based electronics

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

For 15 years, scientists have tried to exploit the "miracle material" graphene to produce nanoscale electronics. On paper, graphene should be great for just that: it is ultra-thin—only one atom thick and therefore two-dimensional, it is ...
