Scientists demonstrate potential of graphene films as next-generation transistors

Thursday, July 31, 2008 - 08:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Physicists at the University of Pennsylvania have characterized an aspect of graphene film behavior by measuring the way it conducts electricity on a substrate. This milestone advances the potential application of graphene, the ultra-thin, single-atom thick carbon sheets that conduct electricity faster and more efficiently than silicon, the current material of choice for transistor fabrication.
