Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. Semiconductors, which are materials that conduct electricity under specific conditions, are foundational components of electronic devices. The team’s breakthrough throws open the door to a new way of doing electronics.
If it’s a single sheet of graphene… about 1.5 angstrom thick.
How does he not cut himself while holding it?
They don’t make big pieces or graphene like that. It’s made as a layer of graphene on some other material. Pure graphene flakes are tiny AFAIK.
