Computers of the Future to be Made from Pencil Trace |
| ...Researchers of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have conducted special experiments that could lead to a major discovery how to use graphene as a heir to copper and silicon presently used in nanoelectronics. Graphene represents a sheet of carbon that is just one-atom-thick . It was made by scientists in 2004 with the help of common clear adhesive tape bought in a store. Most pencils use graphite that is made up of many gra... |
