Graphene Shows High Current Capacity and Thermal Conductivity

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - 15:28 in Physics & Chemistry

(PhysOrg.com) -- Recent research into the properties of graphene nanoribbons provides two new reasons for using the material as interconnects in future computer chips. In widths as narrow as 16 nanometers, graphene has a current carrying capacity approximately a thousand times greater than copper -while providing improved thermal conductivity.
