Device to control 'color' of electrons in graphene provides path to future electronics
University Park PA (SPX) Sep 01, 2016
A device made of bilayer graphene, an atomically thin hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms, provides experimental proof of the ability to control the momentum of electrons and offers a path to electronics that could require less energy and give off less heat than standard silicon-based transistors. It is one step forward in a new field of physics called valleytronics. "Current silicon-based transistor devices rely on the charge of electrons to turn the device on or off, but many labs are looking ... read more
