New graphene 'nanomesh' could change the future of electronics

Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 07:43 in Physics & Chemistry

Graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of a carbon lattice with a honeycomb structure, has great potential for use in radios, computers, phones and other electronic devices. But applications have been stymied because the semi-metallic graphene, which has a zero band gap, does not function effectively as a semiconductor to amplify or switch electronic signals...
