One-Atom-Thin Silicon Transistors Hold Promise for Super-Fast Computing
- swish41 12y agoWe're better off trying to make Silicene-enhanced transistors rather than artificially engineering a band-gap in Graphene. Hook Em
- vegedor 12y agoWhy is that? The element that graphene is made of is far more abundant, and if the band gap can be engineered, it can perhaps be suited to the application.
