The late twentieth to early twenty-first century is known as the silicon age, and the impact of silicon on the electronics industry is almost too large to quantify. But silicon electronics are close to their physical limits in terms of efficiency and performance. Research initiative the Graphene Flagship<\/a> is working on the solution \u2014 nanomaterials like graphene and graphene related materials (GRMS).<\/p>\n \u2018Wonder material\u2019 graphene is a single carbon atom thick and can therefore be classed as a nanomaterial \u2013 a material with at least one external dimension measuring less than 100nm. Despite a small size, nanomaterials promise a whole world of potential for the future of electronics, creating faster, smaller, and more powerful devices.<\/p>\n It is thanks to their physical properties that nanomaterials like graphene hold such promise for the electronics industry. Using their unique characteristics, nanomaterials can result in smaller, more lightweight electronics that use fewer resources to build and improve the accuracy of circuit construction down to an atomic level. Nanomaterials have the potential to stretch the boundaries of what we currently think electronics should do or be.<\/p>\n But the properties of each nanomaterial differ, so what about graphene, specifically?<\/p>\n
