Playing Pool with Carbon Atoms
UA physicists have discovered how to change the crystal structure of graphene. The finding could lead to smaller and faster microprocessors.
A University of Arizona-led team of physicists has discovered how to change the crystal structure of graphene, more commonly known as pencil lead, with an electric field, an important step toward the possible use of graphene in microprocessors that would be smaller and faster than current, silicon-based technology.
