Introducing graphene (video) |
| (Nanowerk News) If you are new to graphene, the European Graphene-Flagship initiative has produced a nice short film introducing graphene, the 'wonder substance' set to revolutionize the electronics industry. |
| The GRAPHENE flagship ambition is to bring together a focused, interdisciplinary European research community that aims at a radical technology shift in information and communication technology that exploits the unique properties of graphene and related two-dimensional materials. |
| Graphene research is an example of an emerging translational nanotechnology where discoveries in academic laboratories are rapidly transferred to applications and commercial products. |
| Graphene and related materials have the potential to make a profound impact in ICT in the short and long term: Integrating graphene components with silicon-based electronics, and gradually replacing silicon in some applications, allows not only substantial performance improvements but, more importantly, it enables completely new applications. |
