Scientists Just Made a Graphene Transistor Gate the Width of an Atom

 

Go Digital

What happened? In a world where electronic devices are constantly shrinking in size, scientists have made an incredible discovery that could change the way we think about technology. They have created a graphene transistor gate the width of a single atom! This breakthrough could mean major changes in the way we design and build transistors and ultimately electronic devices.

Why is this important for people and the planet? As our devices get smaller and more powerful, it's important to reduce the amount of energy they consume. With atomic chips made of graphene, we are likely able to reduce energy consumption dramatically which is beneficial for mother earth. Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, which means it is made of atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. We still have a long way to go before we can build electronic devices at the atomic level, but this discovery is a major step in the right direction. With further research and development, we may one day be able to create chips and devices that are completely invisible to the naked eye.

 

What's next? Graphene is an extremely versatile material with a wide range of potential applications. We are only just beginning to scratch the surface of what this amazing material can do. Graphene transistors could one day be used in everything from computer chips to solar cells. The possibilities are truly endless.
