Graphene spintronics: Studies show promise

News: Nanotechnology    January 31, 2011
If you’ve had any contact with the concept of ‘digital devices’ (as in theory of, not the use of) you’ve heard it explained like ‘switches’ (i.e. gates) that are either ON or OFF, zeroes or ones – the binary code – that sort of thing. Information is stored or processed based on a sequence of [...]

Graphene oxide memristors combine cheap and flexible

News: Nanotechnology    October 14, 2010
In electronics graphene is quickly becoming the great hope for replacing and improving upon silicon semiconductors. Since silicon semiconductors are the basis of much commercial electronics (especially computing), we’re talking the Big Time here. This attracts a lot of research money, which in turn attracts researchers to probe opportunities in a number of directions. One [...]

For the computer industry, one word: Graphene

News: Nanotechnology    October 22, 2009
There’s that all-too famous line from The Graduate, “Just one word… plastics.” Let’s change that to, “Just one word: graphene.” Most people know about plastics. Even at the time of the movie (1967), it was a plausible suggestion for a career, if more than a bit off-target for the Justin Hoffman character. But graphene? Graphene [...]
