Tune Graphene to Rival Silicon, Northwestern University Study

A new way to chemically alter graphene may lead to the creation of faster, thinner, flexible electronics. Highly desired for its many promising attributes, graphene is a one-atom thick, honeycomb-shaped lattice of carbon atoms with exceptional strength and conductivity. Many experts believe it could rival silicon by transforming integrated circuits, leading to ultra-fast computers, cellphones, and related portable electronic devices.
