Scientists strive to replace silicon with graphene on nanocircuitry

Thursday, June 10, 2010 - 14:24 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists have made a breakthrough toward creating nanocircuitry on graphene, widely regarded as the most promising candidate to replace silicon as the building block of transistors. They have devised a simple and quick one-step process for creating nanowires, tuning the electronic properties of reduced graphene oxide and thereby allowing it to switch from being an insulating material to a conducting material.
