We’re One Step Closer to Blazingly Fast Computer Chips Made of Silicene
Move over graphene, today is silicene’s day to shine. Silicene is a single-atom thick layer of silicon, whose theoretical properties could have exciting applications in computer chips. Now, scientists havemade the first silicene transistor, and guess what, it’s amazingly fast. Graphene and silicene are both single-atom thick materials (though graphene is made of carbon), whose…
