In the 21st century, the pursuit is to develop electronic devices that are both smaller and faster, whether for applications in the medical sector or robotics.
Experts have been busy working on producing advanced materials for modern electronic devices to meet this escalating demand.
Now, a significant milestone in this endeavor has been achieved by a team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who have successfully engineered the world's first functional semiconductor using graphene.
"To me, this is like a Wright brothers moment," said Walter de Heer, Regents' Professor of Physics at Georgia Techde, who led this development. Interestingly, this newly built tech could be used to advance quantum computing.
