For 60 years, the digital world was built on Silicon. However, we hit atomic limits where electrons start 'leaking', causing overheating. The solution? Graphene.
Georgia Tech Revolution
Research published in Nature finally solved the 'Band Gap' problem in Graphene. This one-atom-thick material conducts electricity with near-zero resistance.
Absolute Advantages
- Speed: Terahertz frequencies (1000x current Gigahertz).
- Temperature: Almost no heat, reducing data center cooling needs.
- Size: Enabling paper-thin gadgets.
This is the dawn of the Post-Silicon Electronics era.
