Graphene to Someday Replace Silicon Chips
IBM may just change the way Silicon
Valley thinks of its name,with the
creation of graphene transistors that
take out the silicon dominatied
industry.The transistor prototypes
of one atom thick carbon are ten times
faster than any silicon equivilants.
Importantly the graphene trasistors
are compatible with existing
Graphene is considered one of
the most likeliest materials to become
the next generation computer processor,
due to electrons much faster travel
through it.
IBM's new method of growing
graphene transistors on a silicon-
carbide wafer with an added
insulating layer that prevents short
circuits,takes the concept of super-
computing into the next realm.
Other substances like bismth
telluride, may enter us into the
age of quantum computing,making
silicon antiqated.But for now
graphene transistors are the star
in IBM's processor arsenal...

The faster the tech. comes,the greater the change,for jobs and future,thanks for reading Lee;)
It's gonna be fun to see this stuff show up!
...but optical and quantum is the way to go for true long term continued performance gains. ;)
I wonder what this technology will mean in relation to Moores' Law?
This is a very interesting article. Things seem top change really fast in this industry.
I would do better to ask you to do a Hub on Graphene and Quantum computing,lxxy,as your more knowledgable about this phenomena,thanks for reading this piece!;)
In 10 years it will most probably spike a great deal,Carolina,thanks for reading!;)
The faster,the better for the economy,thanks for reading,Pamela;)
Very interesting, changes are happening as we speak. Great info. Thank you.
Cheers
I'm actually thinking of what's going to be developed more in the future. This is a good read Mentalist acer.
New technology,new jobs,IBM is prepared to keep up with Apple and Microsoft,always exploring;)
Diamond and ionic quantum computing is still reserved as the holy-grail in futurism,hubpageswriter;)
Graphine and graphene..pretty names :) what re they made of again? Thumbs up Prof. A
Carbon Molecules,thanks for reading twentyfive;)
New technologies appear faster than we're thinking. Interesting & useful reading Mentalist aser!
A keen statement,mioluna,Futuisticaly moving toward a computer with its own opinions,ha;)
Now I'm feeling even further behind the tech curve! Thanks for the heads up!
Yep,the tech.crunch is getting steeper by the minuite Nifty@50;)
I am always fascinated by the advances in technology. I sometimes get the feeling though, that as things get faster they seem to take longer to do!
Thanks for an interesting read.
Love and peace

Yea it's people like me who keep score that make it seem we're always on the verge but never there,lol,thanks for reading Tony;)
Very cool hub Acer. I was unaware of this development.
Thanks for the Cool Comment,John;)
I wonder how this could impact solar panels. If the electrons move faster in graphene than in silicon, it could be replaced here also to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic modules. I know this hub isn't exactly freshly created but it was still the first I have heard of graphene transistors. Thanks Mentalist acer.
Here's a link on graphene used in solar panel,sounds promising but there's work to be done there also:
