News From the Field Graphene Nanoelectronics: Making Tomorrow's Computers From a Pencil Trace
July 23, 2007
|
A key discovery at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute could help advance the role of graphene as a possible heir to copper and silicon in nanoelectronics. Saroj Nayak, an associate physics professor, has worked for two years to determine how graphene's extremely efficient conductive properties can be exploited for use in future nanoelectronics.
