Researchers create a functional semiconductor made from graphene

Silicon, the semiconductor material used to make most of modern electronics, is reaching its limit as increasingly faster computing and smaller electronic devices are being developed. Now, as an alternative, researchers have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. Researchers …

A revolutionary wooden transistor has been successfully created.

A revolutionary wooden transistor has been successfully created.

Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden made a groundbreaking development: they created a functional transistor out of wood. This new transistor could pave the way for much more sustainable computing. One day, it could even enable electronic control of living plants — but there’s a major catch. THOR BALKHED/LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY A transistor is a key …
