Nano Fabric May Make Computers Thinner
Abstract:
Electrons in graphene travel without any scattering over submicron distances - an important quality for ultra-fast-switching transistors, researchers have found. Smaller transistors mean shorter paths for electrons to travel to switch devices on and off, and faster computers.
Using graphite crystals, a team led by Professor Andre Geim at the University of Manchester extracted individual ultra-thin sheets of carbon atoms.
