A group of scientists from the University of California discovered a new method of projectiong the electronic circuits from graphene, this thing allowing them to build a much higher frequency processors.
The tranzistors from the electronic chips will reach the limit of the technologies based on silicon after 10 or 15 years. By then, we should be armed with another new technologies, if we want to prevent a stagnation. The idea of a tranzistor made of graphene it's not new, and there are functional tries that are real, but these are not prepared for an industrial implementation.
The quickest tranzistor made of graphene reached the frequency of 427 GHz, overtaking this way the maximum frequency made by silicon based chips (8,5GHz). But, the problem is the overheating of this chip, this chip needs a lot of energy and it dissipates a lot of heat.
The scientists are still working on this project, and work hard to find some solutions. Who knows ? Maybe in 20 years we are going to use smartphones powered by graphene-based chips!
