From GraphEne to GraphAne, now the possibilities are endless
Ever since graphene was discovered in 2004, this one-atom thick, super strong, carbon-based electrical conductor has been billed as a "wonder material" that some physicists think could one day replace silicon in computer chips. more

..cts narrower and narrower, the resistivity increases as the true nanoscale properties of the material become apparent," said Raghunath Murali, a research engineer in Georgia Tech's Microelectronics Research Center. "Our experimental d more
Cracking a tough nut for the semiconductor industry
..l interference or "cross-talk" by making the insulating films more and more porous with nanoscale voids - but this has made them more fragile. Brittle fracture failure of low-k insulating films remains a problem for the industry, affecting both more
