Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Researchers are making progress in creating digital transistors using a material called graphene, potentially sidestepping an obstacle thought to dramatically limit the material’s use in computers and consumer electronics. Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon that conducts electricity with little resistance or heat generation. After its discovery in 2004—which earned a Nobel Prize in physics—it was touted as a ... Read More »
