Breakthrough in the search for graphene-based electronics
(PHYSorg.com Nanotechnology)

For 15 years, scientists have tried to exploit the `miracle material` graphene to produce nanoscale electronics. On paper, graphene should be great for just that: it is ultra-thin-only one atom thick and therefore two-dimensional, it is excellent for conducting electrical current, and holds great promise for future forms of electronics that are faster and more energy efficient. In addition, graphene consists of carbon atoms - of which we have an unlimited supply.
