The world’s first functional semiconductor, made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known, has been created by the researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Smaller and faster devices could be possible with this technology. This may have applications for quantum computing. Semiconductors, which are materials that conduct electricity under specific conditions, are fundamental components of electronic devices. The breakthrough of the team throws open the door to a new way of doing electronics. This innovation, led by Walterde Heer a renowned physicist at Georgia Tech, is not merely an incremental step … Continue reading Georgia Tech’s Graphene Semiconductor Discovery Promises Faster, More Efficient Electronic Devices
